AUTOTOOLHOME6-12V Mini DC Motor High Torque Gear for Traxxas R/C and Power Wheels PCB DIY Electric Drill

I purchased this motor for ease of testing with a motor controller connected to a raspberry pi. The motors I wanted to use were the same type housed inside of wheels mounted to cart - so much less convenient to work on. I was able to connect this one up to my motor controller and get it running immediately. For my use, worked great.

I use a lot of hobby motors, various sizes and manufacturers but I got a tip my hat to this particular motor, I'm here to buy more, and to suggest that if you're looking for a 6 to 12 volt medium torque motor this is one heck of a deal. It's tough as nails and does have power, I have purposefully overdriven one of the motors to test it, I started at 18 volts up through 24, it ran perfectly, although at 20+ volts it does start getting a little toasty on the long runs. But 24/7 use at 12 volts is a breeze for this motor, just remember it's not an industrial motor, but it's a damn fine one for private sector hobby use.

The media could not be loaded. I burnt my fingers trying to stall the motor. It did not stall. The cheaper toy motors have metal on metal brushes so have limited life before the brushes wear out. The carbon brushes in this motor should last a good long time and you can replace them if they do wear out. It doesn't get hot in my application. It is built like a tank, a mini one. My major complaint is the noise but a quieter brushless motor is about 3 or 4 times the price. If the noise is not a problem, this motor is a great value for the price.

Satisfied with product

Muy buen torque para ser un motor tan pequeño y buenos rpm.

It worked great at first, and boy did it have some speed on it! But it died while it was running more constantly at my 5th grader's science fair. Lasted maybe an hour, tops. I tried changing the battery, making sure the wires were all aligned but got nothing. It did what it had to do to impress the teacher, but didn't hold out for the audience. Still a good little motor, only I think it's meant for way smaller, shorter time spanned projects.

ok

Do not recommend. Had already thrown away the box or would have returned it. Buzzed and span for less than 30 seconds on 12V then just died. Buy something else from someone else.
