Charlie Pittman supplied motors and parts to represent the company and slot racing in general.
A franchisee of
American Model Raceways and Racing Congress.
Pittman DC196 motors in 1:32 scale.
In 1967, Pittman introduced a new motor specifically designed for slot car use, no longer a modified model train motor as most previous issues really were. It had the general bulk of the Mabuchi FT26 but offered a much higher manufacturing quality. It used the arm of the previous 196B in a new steel formed can fitted with a die-cast zinc end bell and Pittman-style overhead brush assembly. The magnets were stronger than most out there and as usual the quality was vastly above that of the Japanese motors of the period. There were two versions, one with flanged and sealed ball bearings (model 6001BB) and with plain sintered bronze oilites (model 6001).
To help popularize these new motors that cost nearly twice as much as the mid-size Mabuchi, Pittman formed a pro-racing team.
