I'll have to look a little closer at it... And you are right, Ron; you can see the bearing support is a P/S!
My bad... now where did I put those 10X glasses!
This is first gen new endbell I did...
He used the old endbell mold and changed it to produce the first new one (to use all the old hardware up) then changed it again for the latest endbell and new hardware and smaller screws that I designed. I could not find the latest endbell after the change...
Of note, I tried to get Woody to go for smaller 5mm bushings on both ends of the motors but he would not and wanted 6mm. As far as I know Mura still is using my can and endbell design on some motors but they added the variable timing motor can now I think.

Oh and another reason to wait is The Nats are coming the first week in August and the track will be re-braided so I would rather wait till late Aug or Sept. to start this shindig!

Here it is about an hour ago about 17 miles out of Salem cooling down.
Weather was hot! But car ran flawlessly (other than the radiator)for the 240 miles I put on her today.
Okay, this is a correct 1970 early Mura "C" can motor. The endbell is a cut down "B" can piece that someone drilled vent holes into. (That is legal because it predates 1970.) The can, if one notices, does not have the axle clearance cut into the sides and NO bussbars. This is want I want to see because it portrays the very best of what was available in 1970.
Jens, if you were to combine the yellow endbell with the 2-hole can then you might have something worth using. Of course it will need careful assembly, magnet zapping and the right arm to make it scream. The buss bars can be cut off simply by reversing the left hand base plate and cutting the bar down till it's nothing more than a tab sticking out vertically instead of at the top and bottom horizontally. Since these motors are to be mounted in-line, there is NO reason for buss bars anyway. I can suggest a wonderful motor builder who can make that motor sing with a nice re-wound arm if you have the time.
All you have to do is send him both of the first two motors! Or just send the last (4th pic) because that one could very well work!

Also white Wasp was sold by Parma as the Womp-Womp motor.
The Mura Super Wasp was white.
The GR-12x came with a dark red endbell.
Like I said and if you had read closely ( maybe you need Barn's 10x glasses?? ) you would see I said " at one time"
Gee Bob they also came with blue dyed endbells at "one time" as well.... do you have any idea what motor(s) those were on?

I'm OK, You're OK. oops . . Hooked the child.
Let's see if I can clean this up - " slot car motor manufactures at any given point time in history used various colored endbells"

I don't understand, I gave them lots of lead time, advertising and a fistfull of possible buyers.
Must be another reason.
Looks like Ray is going to be busy this year. Contact Ray Fellows for a Choti body at: Ray57one@yahoo.com

Jens, that is a latter "B" can Mura. The last of it's kind actually and exactly what I'm using. How's it run?
Jairus,
first step should be done: I have a motor! Seems to run well. Should be like new.
Have to dig for more parts in my boxes!

You are welcome and how many are you looking for..... I think the last of what I had may have went to Pablo...but I may have a "secret stash" somewhere around here

In previous posts, I think Jairus said any arms. But now I don't see it in the rules. Maybe my eyes are tired.

Ron, what I am looking for is a source for Jet Flag guides. If you find you have a stash of 2 dozen... then great. If not, I'll ask Roger.
