Some Cox motors

Hi guys, one year ago I started to rescue some motors tu use in the university where I work to use them as learning tools for students of Air and Space Engineer class. And I discovered that I am a collector Smile

Since those days I found some nive motors ans issues, even build some of them from spare parts.

And I learned a lot some time here and in another places like social media and youtube about how it works.

Thanks for share your knowledge!!!

Yikes, that’s a rough cylinder head on the Space Bug Jr. Shame too as it looks like a small thread head or at least a very early one.

You didn't mention you worked as a Air and Space Engineer teacher ! That's cool man Very Happy

Did U notice that the JR SB has a 3 piece piston in it ? Nice looking engines , heck if it glows run it they start easily . Thumbs Up

Thanks for your words... Do you mean it is an early one motor???? I only started one time, when I saw that the glow head are not the same as standar, I thought to keep it in the box Smile

The entire engine is early Cox, I was just talking about the glow head being damaged. If it glows still then just use it until it doesn’t. It has no value being damaged as it is. Not a big deal as the rest of the engine looks in good working order.

There are numerous little nuances concerning these engines, year changes, configurations etc. Lots to learn if you are interested.
