Re: Window motor or FP W/ Gearbox?
Since it hasn't been mentioned-
Keep in mind that the window motors have a thermal shutoff that at times can seem to shut off prematurely. We use window motors for bridge lowering and use them twice a match, but teams have run into trouble with constant movement using window motors (ie. swerve steering).
Also keep in mind that window motors and jaguars don't mix well. (lets not debate it here, do a little searching)
One last consideration- Window motors are anti back drive and FP's are not.
