Need to brush up on the soldiering practice make neater ! I will put this motor in it. I think it some sort of hot wind motor from over the Your side of the world ,US. I won it on eBay so I have no idea ,I'll use a 55 shoe box on it . heading down to Brisbane Monday so hopefully get body mounted and finished and give it a run and see how it performs!

What you have is a Slotworks Outlaw Super 16D motor. The armature is wound with 55 turns of 28 ga. wire, rather than the usual 60 turns of 28 ga. for a regular S16D. I have no idea how the top 2% of the motors was determined. It may have been factory tested on a power supply, then it might be just advertising hype. The name Spyder is a nickname Slotworks often used with their slot car products. This should be a fairly fast, fun motor for you, especially in that Chevy you show above.

Oh yeah...that chassis is looking sweet...interesting on the body mount springs which I’m guessing is for better body float...coooool!! And the choice of body is sweetness :banana-dance: :banana-dance: :auto-layrubber: :auto-layrubber: :auto-layrubber:

Bill is right....that motor is a balanced 16D for commercial track racing. I used to blueprint them every weekend........They are faster than a standard 16D because of the balanced arm....but they can still be a dog if they aren't blueprinted. Based on my experience, the 2% thing is a marketing gimmick all the way that allowed them to charge more. I never bought 2% motors.
They are way too fast for a home track, unless you have a long and swoopy home track. Slotworks made a stamped steel chassis too, to compete with the Parma Flexi-car and Flexi2, and this motor was often used in Group10 GTP racing here in Minneapolis. Geared right, it should push that car pretty well.
