A few days ago I've rescued my two Kyosho Mega 16x2 motors. The one with the most faded label is the motor I've received as Christmas present from my parents when I've bought my Yokomo Works '91, ages ago. The other one is the one I've bought on the bay with the intention to restore it and use while my first, also restored, will be placed on a shelf as memory of the good old days.
I don't know about the reputation of the Mega motors in the golden era but I've ran mine in my Works '91 and in my TA01 Lancia Delta Integrale and I remeber the give a plenty of speed.
The day I've rescued the two motors I noticed (as never before) that the second one has a non Kyosho endbell and I surfing the Web to understand something about: I guess that the previous owner switched to a different endbell to avoid the use of 5x5 mm brushes.
Restoring theese two motors will be one of my winter project and will require new brushes, a deep clean and a pair of new MCI Racing decals.
