Do you really think the VEX motor will spin your turret?
Remember the ratings on the spec sheets are for 7.2 volts...
I believe and please correct me if I am wrong..that they will be getting 5 volts from the digital side car... and not 7.2

They are tough little motors..and unlike the servos, they are continuous rotation so they could be geared but be careful of using the specs you are seeing on the tech spec sheet...those numbers are based on using the VEX battery (7.2 volts) which isn't legal...I would think they would pull 5 volts from the digital side car...

Does anyone have an answer for this?
