They did sell 18mm motors, probably well after Doug left the company. One of our local hobby shops sold them along with the bigger FSI motors. FSI somehow got ahold of MRI/MRC/AVI's motor machines, and made 18mm motors with them for a few years in the late 80's. Quest ended up using them (FSI may have actually made the first batch of Quest motors).
