As an experiment in order to improve the end pull on the 40/50 motor we wish to try one of our Phantom II experimental motors modified as shown on attached blue prints. Will you please arrange for this modification to be carried out as soon as possible as considerable trouble is being experienced on Customers chassis due to the poor characteristics of the existing motor.
