For that you get two rusted solid transcontinental motors, a rusted solid X03, 1 lima? motor, 1 tender drive unit, assorted stripped down pancake motors and various bits. What am I missing? Bid now so you can get a deal 25 bids for that pile of useless junk? Fools and their money spring to mind. That lot looks as if it's been lying on the floor of someone's garage for the last twenty years. Edited March 31, 2023 by Swissrail 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep if you dealt in spares you could probably make a profit over months selling bits individually. If you actually hope to use them - well the Triang motors can take decades of abuse and still work but even then it's a gamble considering the condition. The newer motors I wouldn't give you a fiver for - if someone's stripped a motor of usable parts and left the armature then you can guess where the problem is Edited March 31, 2023 by Sjcm 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 You're probably going to get more pleasure from taking the £90 and spending it in such a manner as you regain consciousness on the floor of a black cab around 5am and the previous night comes back to you in flashbacks over the next 24-48 hours. Or your friends remind you.... 1 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
