Re: usage of denso window motor

Think about it. The window motor gearbox is small and has mounting holes so it is easy to mount. The motor is pretty wimpy though. A 775 banebot turns only slightly faster, but has a much higher stall torque. By my calculations the window motor on the gearbox can produce about 90 inch pounds of torque at stall. With the banebot on the gearbox the number is a little more than 300 at stall. I do not think the plastic gears will hold up to 300, but I can run the motor at less than half the stall and still lift a boat load.
