Il Beck^s 42 Posted April 29, 2021 ok guys, yesterday the Le Mans 480 T engine finally arrived, kindly given to me by an old model aircraft friend from Bologna ... obviously disassembled, passed with light paper on the manifold, brushes replaced, and 3 V running-in immersed in water with a few drops of dishwashing liquid, 10 minutes in one direction and 10 in the other. reassembled ... dried pretty well with the hair dryer, two drops of WD40 on the bearings and reassembled. Attention, he will not run anywhere, not even in the driveway but the fun of doing it and completing the Turbo Optima Mid, it's fantastic ..... next step find the super selected yellow Sanyo cells ..... but calmly not there is a hurry .... Bye from Tuscany 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mtbkym01 4008 Posted April 30, 2021 I love the vintage Le Mans Motors, I have a couple myself, but am still after some more, the blue 480S being my most sought after currently. My little “vintage motor” collection 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
