I have two motors that have lost their labels and due to me having a rubbish memory I have no idea what they are!
Can anyone help?

The first is a black can that has SP on the end, so I am guessing it's a Speed Passion - but how do I find out what wind it is?

The second has a silver can with no markings other than the sticky residue of where the sticker would have been in the middle of it - relatively narrow and goes nearly all the way around. No idea of make or wind.

one kindly gent advised me that carefully dismantle motor

windings are usuallly written in felt pen on stator

(worked on two of mine !)

I thought that was only brushed motors, but am happy to be proved wrong!
What make of motors were they fidspeed?

the silver can one looks like an old speed passion competition v2

Thanks Matt, thats the make sorted!
Sorry Fid, don't think theyre novaks, both have the sockets for the sensor leads.

I've also taken both apart and theres no markings on the inside, so it's not looking like I'll ever find out what turns they are :-(
