Looking for old gonzo/wimpy motors for a project i'm working on, also just because they were my favorite motor from back in the day.

I prefer stocks but mods can work too

they look like this:

I used to race with the owner of that company, Lee Morrison. He nows works for Horizon Hobby. You may be able to email/call them and talk to him. They were built in Chesterton, IN and that was all that we ran around here in the early 90's. Great stuff.

I was just talking with my boys tonight about old RC stuff and Googled Wimpy to see if they were still in business. I landed here and was shocked to see it was a current topic.

I have one that I bought at a shop in Kokomo back in 90 or 91. I believe it is a modified, but I don't remember the windings - for some reason 31 is in my head but that may be way off and not even be a relevant number. It has very few hours on it - like less than 8. It was an awesome motor, but also a major battery hog - most of the reason I didn't run it too much - (college pretty much ended my RC hobby days around that time too). Might do a lot better on today's cells. I'll have to dig it out of storage if you really want it - but I can get to it. Let me know.

Thought I still had some stocks around but no luck finding them if so. These are 12X6 and 12X5. Ill even throw in the last of the stickers I have left. LMK if you're interested.

I have found a Wimpy stock motor, if anyone's interested?
If no one's interested (I know this post is nine months old), I will be putting it on eBay in mid-Oct, as fitted to a Tamiya Fox, under my ebay name goodgear06.
