where to buy cheap gear motors
« on: December 21, 2010, 11:40:44 PM »
Hi
can someone please tell me a secure(i mean no scam :)) place to buy gear motors online? cheap of course.I tried pololu but their motors are expensive plus shipping is too expensive.
however hobbycity has cheap lipo (which I'm going to buy) but sadly no gear motors. :'(
I'm in sri lanka
thank you

In my opinion the Pololu gear motors are a good value. Not cheap but not expensive either.
The micro and mini ones do work very well.

If I saw a gear motor advertised for a lot less than the Pololu motors I would be very skeptical.

For quality and cheap look into surplus. There probably will not be any specs or many choices so you'll need to determine these yourself.
