Thanks for any assistance in identifying this particular motor, as I have extensively perused the internet for a similar one to no avail.
Help me identify this motor

It’s funny that it seems near impossible to find this exact motor, with these fairly unique can cutouts, on the net.
Anyway, I sure appreciate that ID! Thanks again.

Jim,
I have a number of these cans in my junk pile so knew what it was.
You are correct that finding a pic was not easy, but it was made easier by searching on 'RJR C-can.'

Robert Root (RJR) hasn't made anything slot car-related for 15-20 years. His machines for winding motors went to New Jersey. That company (Viper) has since disappeared, too. There not being new products manufactured is probably responsible for few photos today.
