Title: What motor do I choose?
Post by: Bot1 on June 24, 2010, 02:28:01 PM

How can you tell what motors are better than others? Is it the bigger the better. Should it have more than one gear speed? Some one help please! :-\

Could you explain your situation a little more, if you have a certain requirement?

There are a couple of tutorials if you haven't already read them.

And also there is a calculator.

Here's a recent post about choosing a motor.

Most of the questions are answered there I suppose.
