Schumacher motor hand built by Mike Reedy
Now this is something special. Found in the back of one of my Schumacher buggies was this motor. It is an original Reedy Pink Dot (15 turn) motor hand built by Mike Reedy for Schumachers race team. These were not commercially available but built and set up individually by Reedy and only supplied to Schumachers team drivers.
These are wound by hand to give the most compact windings and balanced by hand. Notice the thread around the wires, that is added to stop the motor throwing a wind and make it more reliable. It also prevents the wire moving under the high loads on the armature to make sure it stays balanced.
A nice touch is the hand written 'the enforcer' identification on the armature, it's good to know what it is and a lot more personal than a stamped number.

And I always thought Michael was a motor winder before he became famous in Formula 1 racing...silly me.

If they actually have the 'built by Mike Reedy' label then they are fairly rare as they were only produced in limited numbers for Schumachers sponsored drivers.
