Havlicek armature, 24 turns of 26 gauge wire .516 OD, meets Pablo vintage Mura setup, .531 magnet hole shunts insulated springs BB's at both ends buss bars fully blueprinted. I'm actually scared to put this monster on the track. This motor absolutely blows away anything I've ever built.

That blue can really stands out nicely against all that shiny brass 
Good luck when you unleash/hit the throttle on the track

If it handles decent I'll let you try it, Red. Bring extra fuses for your controller
Bring some big buss fuses for Billy's main supply line also, we may need them

OH NO!!! You got the sticker crooked. That's OK, I don't remember them being all that straight from Mura I'll pack a big box of fuses. LOL!!!

Looks like very serious business Pablo! You got a permit to carry that thing?

Batmobile track test results:
Instantly lights up the tires. Once she hooks up, gets down the track in the blink of an eye 
I promised lots of power, and I exceeded that goal with the Havlicek/Pablo Mura 
Motor runs cool and performed absolutely perfect. Handling was very good for such a big car - better than I expected. No bad habits at all.
But honestly, this is way too much horsepower for a 133 gram car. Cheater reminded me, 24 turns of 26 wire is designed for a chassis that weighs twice as much. At some point, I may swap this Mura out for something tamer, but for now it's just a crazy fun car. She's going to get cleaned, then take a long nap in the box. Mission accomplished 
now I must move onward.......

Good news Pablo! I worry a lot about these things, and have had people smoke my arms/motors by either setting them up wrong or doing something silly with the gear ratios...I shoulda known you'd have her dialed in right. The old Muras can be real beasts and are almost too much at times, especially in lighter chassis. Playing with the "big wire" arms (26, 25, 24) is like handling explosive ordnance, glad you made it out OK!

Too much power I didn't think I would ever say that The Havlicek/Pablo/Mura motor has been cleaned, inspected, tested, labeled and bagged. She still runs absolutely perfect and is going to take a long nap in the vintage motor box of horrors until I build a lead sled chassis for it. Also need to order a bottle of Koford Heavy
Found a nice looking fresh Mura in the box of horrors labeled "Built for Choti Thingie Proxy, G 20 arm".
This should be a better choice for the Batmobile. Track test #2 June 7.

So I take it that HiPo Havlicek armed Pablo Mura will be needing a full early 70's brass Pro car to keep it under control? That other mill certainly looks menacing enough to take it's place!

K&S does sell .093 brass strips. Some of the club/home groups in OR use it when building their Deathstar-powered hard body cars.

Those old G20s were my favorites for just storming around Pablo. I used to build tripod chassis out of a single piece of wire with no bracket and just solder them in and plant a wing body on it (ie: all motor and air control and no chassis) and they were good for miles of smiles!
