It's strong and works great, I just wish it came with an adapter they would accept some type of shaft -round, square, hexagon or whatever- and adapter that would allow for pulleys or gears.
It's strong and works great, I just wish it came with an adapter they would accept some type of shaft -round, square, hexagon or whatever- and adapter that would allow for pulleys or gears. BTW I use them to train the main gun and terrier missiles and radars on my large scale -85"- RC warship.
Great for my small robots and I can adapt it to lego nxt 48mm omniwhells
Good size of motor with a good ratio that provide a good compromize between speed and torque to drive my project builded with Meccano parts. Not too bad to mount into the frame, you will need M2 or the best fit M2.6 screws of 20 mm mininum.
Bonne taille de moteur avec un bon rapport qui offre un bon compromis entre vitesse et couple pour conduire mon projet construit avec des pièces Meccano. Pas trop mal à monter dans le cadre, vous aurez besoin de vis M2 ou de vis M2.6 de 20 mm minimum adaptées.
