What motor for which car? Hmmm

[Crashtest33]

Hi peeps.
As my vintage Kyosho collection draws to an end I'll be putting electrics in my cars.
The motors I have are;
Le Mans 480 Gold
Le Mans 480s
Le Mans 240s
Trinity Midnight stock
Reedy Firehawk stock
Reedy Modified quad
Trinity Kinwald epoxy balanced (or something)
(And a handfull of Le Mans 05's)

I think I'll keep the factory 05 in my ZX-Sport cos it came with the kit.
The Reedy Quad is gonna be hooked up to my Novak GTX in my '05 ZX-5.

What shall I fit in the ZX and ZX-R?

I vote for the 480 gold in the ZX and the Kinwald in the ZX-R.

Awesome!
Done.
I didn't know the Kinwald was that old? Was he an early 90's racer then?

Cool

Yes he started in the late 80's actually - he had an epic battle with Masami and they were both driving RC10's. He also used to race Losi.

I used to have a Kinwald motor too many moons ago.

He won the worlds in 1993 in Basildon.

Yup - Brian won the 2wd class at the Worlds held here in the UK back in 1993 - the subsquent 'Kinwald Dirtinator' series motors ran from about when Brian went from AE/Reedy sponsorship to Losi & Trinity around 94/95ish right through to the early-mid 2000s

I picked up a nice 'Euro' epoxy balanced Kinwald aswell over the weekend which will go in my new build XX project... It might be a little too new for the ZXR perhaps... but it could be possible that a racer in the mid 90s is still running their ZXR (a couple of years old) but running slightly more recent electrics?
