Ernie,

It weighs .28 lbs

Have no clue on the RPM, but probably more than stock? :wink2:

Yes, to be sure, this is it...

Hi Geary,

Thank you for taking the time to weigh that "anvil" of a motor - that's no doorstop! hahaha

Hi Don!

I did an article on open-frame motors many years ago for Slotcar Bulletin - if you're interested, I can try to dig it out and send you a scan.

That would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much for your offer, time and education!

Thank you again.

Ernie

The Kemtron X-503 was popular among some road racers before the cans came on the scene. Often used as sidewinders. I used my 6V in an inline Gas Class (24V) drag car and won as a 12 y.o. against the grownups. When the drag strip shop closed I thought about converting it to a road racer but by then the cans were king..

Beautiful arm, Geary.

Looks great.

Will it be as much of an amp-sucker as it appears?

People may not understand the significance of Geary's accomplishment. The difficulty of correctly winding a 5 pole armature is many times harder than a 3 pole arm. The biggest challenge being wiring the comm correctly.

As far as I know, this is the only example of a 5 pole rewind properly done, existing today?

Good lookin', impressive arm Geary.

Thanks Don,

With the neo mags it will pull some amps, how much, we will find out soon...

I will do the initial running with the stock mag as the neos are too much for this.

Thanks Phil,

The 5 pole is a tad more complex to wind than the 3 pole but not terribly so.

I'm sure that over the years plenty of 5 poles were wound in this manner...

Geary, it's the comm wiring that throws me. I tried to unwind a DC-65 padlock, so I could see how it's done, but the epoxy was too strong and I kept breaking the wire. I guess I need to torch one.

Plus there were some weird windings that were in that opposite direction from the rest of them. I quickly gave up.
