Topic: super 16D motors

by racerbob9 » Fri Sep 05, 2014 9:49 pm

I want to throw this out there for consideration. At the Doubleheader at Spare Time Raceway, We were given the option of running a Kelly or Proslot sealed 16D motor. The performance was about the same as a Deathstar, but they had Gold dust brushes, Better springs and the end play was consistent. The arms are balanced Chinese arms. These motors cost almost the same as a Deathstar. These motors are also available as sealed Super 16Ds. and retail for about 15 dollars at PCH parts express. I am sure we can get them cheaper through the club. This could be a cost cutting measure if they run even longer than the Parma Supers. Just looking for some feedback on this idea.

Bob; set one up in a car, let's see how it runs. If it is equal to a Deathstar, it will be a hard sell, few racers in our area like them. Frankly, I like the path we have been taking, one motor to choose from and cheap at that!. I have several seasons on most of my Parma motors.
