Checkpoint motors
 

Just to let everyone know that we will be shipping motors to Great Plains on April, 27.

If anyone has questions about the motor or products please let me know.

Thanks,

These motors are awesome, tons of power and very little maintenence. They run really cool too with the aluminum endbell.

No Horizon?

When they gonna be available OEM??

Major Congrats, Duane.

Re: Checkpoint motors
 

I've been looking to buy one of these forever, but I can't find them anywhere.
Where are they online?

Randy thanks for the support on the motor. We are tring our best to make the product speak for it's self.

Eddie, GP is the exclusive distributor of the Checkpoint line of product. Also OEM stuff will not be out in the near future. We have a ton of back orders to fill.

Duane

Will you have a Spec 19t?

I think you should offer them to tuners as well. Just my opinion.

Re: Re: Checkpoint motors
 

They arent avalible yet, shipping out the first batch on the 27'th.

Hopefully OEM hits fairly soon.....its key in my opinion for a successful motor.....especially if only one distributor is carrying them....

I know some of my guys would like to run them....

Are they still using the sagami arms?

I was just wondering if the motor is ROAR aproved.:confused:

Congrats to Team Checkpoint!!! I know O'Donell now owns the rights to the name but its still great to see the Checkpoint brand name back in RC! :nod: I still have my original Checkpoint GOLD in my Tamiya HotShot! Bravo once again!!!


One thing is for sure.... your new motors are very efficient and competitive! Jared Tebo seems to be very happy (and successful) with his! ;)


Any chance we might be seeing a Checkpoint Brushless Motor in the future (even if it's just the motor and without the ESC)!?! I think that would be great!

:tire: :D :tire:

Now what's the possiblity of a ROAR spec 19t fixed endbell 24 degree motor?

From what I am told, they are working on a 24 degree stock motor...

And the Checkpoint Modified is now ROAR approved....it was recently added to the approved products list on the ROAR page....

Later EddieO

Yes we are working on a stock motor and a spec 19t.

The motor is Roar and Ifmar approved right now. Still working on all the EFRA stuff.

Duane

Check Point is a brand new motor produced by Duane Silva and Steve O'donnell. More info here:http://forums.radiocontrolzone.com/s...d.php?t=181200

thank you.

the motor looks so SWEET!

Better hire some people Duane.:D I hear the motor is in huge demand.:nod:

Chris

Will most online hobby shops carry them? or will they be specific to a certain site?

Their are using Great Planes for their distribution so any shop that buys from them can get these motors.

Everyone can see the new Checkpoint motor in the April issue of Extreme R/C car. They rated it a BIG FAT 10! They are working day and night on the first production runs. Trust me once you try one of these motors you will be hooked.

I would like to run them once they go OEM and Eddie can get a hold of them Especially after seeing Randy's the other night at SoCal.

You need to see it on a more open track where I can get on more than 1/2 throttle, then it gets impressive :)

what kind of brushes will fit team checkpoint motor?
do we have to use special ones?

They are round brushes. No other brushes will fit. We have found some great new compounds that are lasting 30-40 runs in off-road and 10 runs in touring car with out lossing power.

Not to mension I was only cutting my motor every 5-6 runs, not bad for a 7 turn..

That is the best news right there!!

Check out the link below for some information on the motor.

Are brushes available at the same time? Is so what is the part numbers??

So which arms are these using? Sagami? Or the new ones you guys were working on? I see a few arms on the approved list...


Later EddieO

Looking good...........I think I sitll have my old school checkpoint GOLD and SILVER along with my Mid Optima and.........Ultima.

Hi Guys

I have been testing the Checkpoint motors in the UK, I have to say that these are the best motors I have used!

The quality of the engineering in the endbell is superb!

I have run 7 and 8 turns, with the 7 turn I ran 15 times on one set of brushes, changed to new ones with no gain in performance! So I would say at least 15 runs on the brushes

Eddie: All armatures approved are Sagami.
dasdaman: We will post the part numbers for the brushes and springs later today.
If you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask.

Chris: Duane told me that thing are going great with the motor. Are you comming over for the Reedy race

Do you have a web site?
Any where else that I can get the motors?

The website will be finished in the next few days or so. We don't have enough time in a day to keep up with the demand. Great Planes is our North and South America distributor.
