Brrraaappp! That's one down, Kitty Carlisle...

Are you saying that the posted motor specifications are incorrect?

The CIM has a peak mechanical power of 340W versus the FP at 292W. Add to this the additional gear reduction required to gear down an FP, and the CIM wins every time.

Now, if your intention is to build a smoke generator, the FP is a natural choice...

JMHO,

Mike
