Integy lathe motors?

[JohnRobHolmes]

Anybody still finding these in supply other than 55t or 65t? Integy has been out of stock for a LOOOOONG time on them and I don't see them getting more soon unless they bite the bullet and get something from sagami.

[CD13]

No Sir, But to tell ya the truth, I always think of you when I need motors.

[EddieO]

Don't hold your breathe on that. Last I was told, Arthur didn't get along with sagami and they won't deal with him. Not sure why he just doesn't have them built at a chinese factory, its not like they could make them any worse really.

I remember when that's all you could get for a crawler. Lathe motor, TLT axles and whatever chassis you could build.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh..............the good ole days.

Last Integy 35T I was able to get I picked up with my Axial kit, nearly two years ago.

While the Integy served me well for over a year and a half and many miles, it has since been replaced with a Holmes Hobbies Sport 35T, which I'm very happy with for the price. Runs much quieter as well.

As another note, my Integy 35T had bushings, but an Integy 55T that I picked up about a month ago has bearings.

I have not purchased an Integy in years. I've got several 55T and 65T new ones in the package though.

[IceBox84]

My local HobbyTown USA has a few 35T in stock.......but i'm not to sure I'd use them

[SINister]

I've got two old ones a 45 and 55 both are still puttering around after 4-5yrs. Both have bearings so that might explain their long life. Definitely got my $15 out of them lol.

I've been looking at the HH sports lately, since you mentioned them. I'm gonna get a couple 45s when I can.

! aint that the truth

[EddieO]

If venom made these fireballs in other winds, they are not that bad of a motor really. The magnets are pretty solid, so is the can and the endbell itself. The two weaks points on them is the variances in the wacky cast metal brush hoods and the arm seems to be not as nice as the sagami unit...

I've got a built pair of them where I swapped out the hoods....they perform well. Venom won't sell them in bulk though..........and going through horizon isn't fun.

Is this the digression thread? Buy Br00d or HH and let Integy turn to cannibalism from lack of income.......

I like to use the "junk" motors in my scale rigs that see lots of water and mud. Hard for me to sacrifice a good Holmes Hobbies motor only to use it in those kind of conditions.

Understandable! Holmes and Eddie both have cheaper versions of motors. My point is to support the Blue stars here. Integy has no star here....

I totally agree. All of my good motors, ESCs, etc.. are from the Crawl master himself, Mr Holmes!

That is some serious life from a motor!

Again, some awesome service life from such a humble motor!

I've been wondering about them for a while and nobody else started a thread on it. I had been trying to get some from integy for almost a year before I gave up. Maybe they will come back?

All good stuff. I got one of a least err thing he has offered. In fact I logged in on his site just last night to see my order history. Couple o house payment there. I picked some of the CM 13turns from a local guy that bought and never got to use. More good stuff! Bought 3 of the ESCs through RPP of his too. Even more good stuff.

[PowerCrazy]

Why is JRH looking for Integy motors....I have one I'll sell you haha.....

[PowerCrazy]

Or even better I have one I'll trade for a Crawlmaster 16 T

[JohnRobHolmes]

Just wondering how dry things are elsewhere. I have plenty here actually I use them for mud and water running. Cheap and cheerful!
