Default History of Plugged Motors (Edit)

Many of us, including me, thought Estes started making plugged motors for the Astroblaster and Stratoblaster, and the land race cars.

I just noticed on the motor page of the 1964 catalog that they produced a plugged motor back then too. It was for use on test stands.

Discontinued after 1971.

It was listed as a B.84-0(P)
Later on it was relabeled B4-0(P), a plugged version of the current B4-2,4.

I'm sure this has been brought up before, but that's one of the few cool things about getting old. I get to discover new things every day, even though I knew all about it a few years ago!
