I believe it was made by Johnson, It is hard to find because it came in older kits. TCS lets you run it even though it blows away the current kit silver can motors. As long as it looks like a silver can, your OK.
Thanks for the info..... hehehe.... I still have six original mabuchi silver can motors from TA02 era ( 1995 ). Btw, are you sure about this ?

I notice current version of silver can motors are different than previous edition begining from TT-01 era.
