period correct motor for the falcon

[chickenman242tk]

Finally sort of getting around to making my falcon operational , currently hunting down some nice vintage futaba radio and the car itself will get a nice clean and of course this has me thinking ,which motor would suit this car.

I have looked at the manual and that doeant say which motor to go with ,are the black motors before its time or am i needing a technipower/tuned ? .

It has a correct silver can and i guess i could slap a sport tuned in her but i am a sucker for period hop ups...

Stock rs540, but I had a friend who had a trinity stock motor in his Back then which was approx. 1987

I'm pretty sure the Technigold was out by then but a Technipower wouldn't be bad either.

Might try and track down a technituned ,think thats the only one i dont havebin that series

The stock motor is the plastic white endbell Mabuchi RS540. Black and red Tamiya endbell motors might be one or two years prior to the Falcon's release, so you might want to use a Technituned, or the Technigold if you like upgrades. I think I'd go with the box stock motor for the 1986 Falcon, but that's just my opinion.

It has a black endbell 540 in it currently ,i just want a lil bit more pep out of the old girl as i am sort of classing it as a light runner

Well, if that is the case have you considered the gorgeous line of Le Mans motors that Kyosho made back in the day?

I bought a Technituned for mine. It is the hopup option the box.

Ok that settles it im going to find a technituned from somewhere lol.

Not had much luck so far...
