Vintage Tamiya Rotors

Hi Guys

If you had a bunch of vintage Tamiya rotors in front of you and they were all mixed, with technigold, technipower and technituned, how would you know which was which?

Tuned armature has the thinnest wire I think, most turns.

Power is quite similar to Gold in thickness & turns.

 

Don't mix them together at once  & label them with a texta.

Hmm, this sounds like a classic case of 'now why didnt i take them apart one at a time?'

Post a picture of the “first world” problem you’re dealing with.

lol...well I knew what was what 6 months ago, but forgot about the hobby for a while and now when I've come back to it totally forgot what rotors came from where :)

 

I'll post a picture, there is only 3 I'm curious about.

One on the right looks like a double wind.

 

Edit, none of the motors you list are double wind. So i guess its single wind but wound strange. So my guess is the one on the right is technituned. The other two, one is 21t one is 23t. Which one looks like it might have more turns? To me the middle one looks like less turns bit fatter wire so should be the technigold.

Thats just my guessing though.
