Can anybody please let me know the dimensions( height, width, length) of the Fly and Scaley sidewinder motors?
I am planning to convert the Airfix 917 to a slot racer but want a full interior and, as this will be my first sidewinder, I was wondering which motor would fit best.
Thanks
Vince

High Vince, I have a web page on how to build an Airfix 917 using a fly car

You can find most useful attributes of these motors at Mabuchi's own web site.

I don't think the mighty Mabuch Motor Co will object to a picture link - hope not anyway!

Hi

And the fly, scaley, scale auto, mrrc, evo 2(red) are identical.

Except for label.

QUOTE Except for label.

And PRICE!!!!

On checking around UK, you can find, in the very SAME major supplier's site, a motor in Scalextric spares section at £4.50 and that same motor in the FLY spares section (with around 5 different reference numbers) varying from £10 - £11 each.

I think that is absolutely disgraceful.

Thanks for the info chaps.
Chassis is now scratchbuilt from plasticard and I am about to start on the body.
Dome, If my model looks anything like as nice as yours I will be delighted

As far as I know Proslot Evo motors are the same orientation (armature pokes out the same end) as Ninco motors. They are the opposite to Fly and Scalextric ones. All else seems correct to my knowledge.
