Mabuchi made slot car motors in the 60's I think...maybe the 70's. I think some of the old RC cars made by Tamiya came with motors by them too but I wouldn't swear to any of it. That may be worth something... your best bet would be to check ou some slotcar sites they may know. Also Shaun and Bilbo are into slots Shaun's way too young to remember but I think Bilbo is a bit...uhm...more seasoned. He might know or at least know who to ask. If he doesn't see this you might try to PM him. He's a pretty nice guy and would most likely help if he can. Unless of course your good friends with brushlessmicrodude over on the rc addicts board then he might nit be so kind :grin: But other than that... :-o

It definitely looks like a 24th scale slot car motor (found a simular design on a scratchbuilt slotcar site.) Fairly old one at that, I never ran one like it.

The 65 might refer to the nmber of turns on the arm, the more popular arms have 50 turns. It might be good if used on a tire truer lathe.

Have you put power to it? Slotcars run on tracks running between 12 and 14 volts but will start turning at 1.5-2v. Before you put power to it maybe clean it (spray electonics cleaner will work) and reoil the bushing/bearings.

I think one of my old H.O. train loco's had something like that in it. Maybe check out some scale rail sites?

yeah? you know who else uses "machubichi" motors? the company that makes your mom's ASS DILDO.

What's that? You already know? and they taste bad?

Maybe you check your Mom's dirty hole for that camera you're missing.

Taint.

Let me get out my crystal ball here.

I see an image forming...

It's getting clearer now, but sill foggy.

getting better..

ah yes, it's perfectly clear now.

I see vwmicro getting beat down by more and more people since he's now picking a fight with astro.


I guess you haven't figured it out yet you little tail end of my morning glory. you're in a hole that almost no one gets out of and you take a swing at astro?

you just signed your own death warrant kid.
