Subject: Looking for a geared motor

Hello,

I am trying to find a geared motor similar to this one:

https://www.conrad.com/p/high-perfor...-v-modelcraft-rb350050-22h22r-501-233130


Unfortunately Conrad does not ship to the United States.

I have been looking at your motors and I believe this one has similar specs:

Can you confirm?

Do you have anything else you might recommend?

Response:
Steve, Those look like they'd work as well! They seem to be much higher powered than the motors you were looking at otherwise, Not at all an issue. Here's another option for you to consider https://www.servocity.com/101-rpm-gear-motor Thank you, ServoCity Tech (620) 221-0123

---------------------------

I don't think the 101 RPM motor they suggest to consider will do. Stall torque of 3.28 kgf compared to 57 kgf for the Conrad motor and 69 for the118 RPM premium motor.

I think this one is going to be my best bet:

Nah it was the single turbo 2.4L Ecoboost 2020 motor, not bad really, just that stupid 10 speed paddle shifter kills it. The dealership doesn't give out manuals for loaners I was getting my Fusion worked on so I got that to drive for about a week, glad to have my Fusion back though, I drive WAY too fast with the Mustang...

But yea definitely check out Servocity, I've been using them for years for stuff and the service is great as well as the shipping rates/times. The motors are good quality and the pan/tilt mechanisms are great for robotics platforms or trackers. Lots of mounts and standardized sizes there, makes it easy to build around when you have all the dimensions before you even get it.
