The thing to watch out for on those is if they come with the belt assembly on 'em or not.


BTW, just so everybody's aware: Not many of those motors were FRC-legal in 2014 (Exception: seat motors if they were ARA or FIRST Choice); probably even fewer in future seasons. But for non-FRC applications, or for training, they're all pretty decent motors, as I recall.
The mini bike motors were ~2700 rpm, more torque than a CIM but less overall power because of their lower speed.
