In the good old days my only source of informations about the hobby were the local hobby shop (not specialized in RC cars... so not too much infos from the two brothers that manage it) and the (national and international) competitions reports and cars reviews that the italian magazines published at that time.
Magazines have widen my eyes on the whole extra Tamiya RC scene and on the competitions world. I've never attended a race but I owned a race car and some of the used stuff I buy today are the things I would have bought if I would have money enough.
Twisters is one of the brand I've started to read about when I was a teen and finally weeks ago I bought these two used motors on the Bay.
Of course the seller has not been able to give infos about number of turns and, unfortunately opening the two to inspect them has not revealed much: no number handwritten on the rotor. I have been only able to understand than one is a "triple" and the other is a "double".
The double one is almost clean to the inside, its commutator looks good and bearings run smooth.
The triple is full of black dust and need a deep clean, its magnets are really strong and also its commutator is fine.
Some scars due to the habit to solder and unsolder ESC cables direclty on the motors tabs but they are not deep as in some other motors I own.
I guess they will look great after a good clean and a easy refurb.
