Gents, I've been using the 'BWA BWMS050 - FF050 Size Motor' and brass pinions from Dart hobbies in my RTR cars. Unfortunately it is a bit hit and miss as to whether or not I get a response to orders. I'm looking for an alternate supply for motors and 1.5mm pinions of similar price so I don't have to increase my prices, can anyone recommend a reliable, cost effective supplier?
For any prospective suppliers looking at this I'd be ordering 50-100 at a time.
Thanks, Marlon.

Slot Car Corner Canada (and Slot Car Corner in the USA) sell the M/T-SL1 slimline FF-050 motor that is pretty much equivalent in performance to the Dart/BWA one. These two motors are the spec motors for the GP1.5 class of the VRAA Proxy race for historic grand prix cars. www.slotcarcorner.ca/m-t-sl1-motor-slim-can-14-7k/Stewart

I did see Al Penrose say he still had plenty of motors left for sale...both ff and fc types. He was listing 20 at a time on eBay U.S. for 100 dollars.
The trick will be establishing contact... Facebook might be the first avenue to try.

Hi Marlon
I've bought parts from Slot Car Corner Canada and they provide an excellent service - parts arrive, usually, within a week. I find they also work out cheaper than the US sister company -exchange rate.
Best Regards
David
