Default RE: Motor and Gearbox Testing

D cells will work, thanks!

Was going through my parts bag for my current Tiger project and pulled out the original motors and gearboxes. This tank was a non-smoker I bought cheap off ebay. It must have been one of the first ones because the hull did not have any mounts or holes for the S&S electronics. It has black capped motors that say Suntech on them and yellow plastic gears.

Motor tested by itself:
.47A 7.93V 3.6W @ 15000RPMs

In the plastic gearbox with Tiger Sprocket:
.45A 7.90V 3.5W @ 378 RPMs

In the metal gearbox with Tiger Sprocket:
.60A 7.85V 4.7W @ 365 RPMs
