Looking for lower rpm motor
Hello All,
I am trying to design a light weight (<1lb) differential drivevehicle and I am having a hard time finding suitable motors. I believe a motor with a max of 50 rpm would be fine. However I am having a hard time finding such a motor. I have looked into gearing down a normal brushless motor though I can't seem to find any gear boxes with a high enough gear ratio.

In terms of torque 1lb ft would be plenty.
I am pretty new to the whole RC world so I have no idea if these specs are reasonable or not.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

RE: Looking for lower rpm motor
Buzz,
I've looked at the motors and it doesn't seem like these motors can be speed controlled.
The size and torque/speed of these motors seem perfect though! Im looking for something exactly like these that could be controlled using a pwm signal.
And thanks for the reply.
