Thanks for the tip Gibsoneb
whent straight out to my shed , Bloody Marvelous what you find in your old RC boxes , hehe a few unused 4 slot silver can motors by Johnson that i had from when i bought a Subaru brat , and some buggy about ten years ago that i installed other motors in

Cheers

Todays motors only have 2 big slots. This motor is equivilant to the the Sport Tuned Black Can 540 that Tamiya offers now. 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.
