Re: Favorite Motor?

Gimme a CIM first (any variety except the Big CIM from '06 and '07--too heavy), then an FP motor with standard gearbox, then a BaneBots 775 or AM 9015 with PG-71 attached. After those, a Globe motor. Fill in the rest of the BB lineup and I think that's about it.

For specialist applications, van door and window motors may move above the others, but it's gotta be a pretty special application, especially one where the others won't work without some form of special gearbox mod.
