Re: Throttle Motor

Why would a team waste time finding a way to gear down an 18W motor when there are a plethora of better options available? There are equally compact motors that interface much more cleanly and provide much more power. Further still, if you have a low power, low speed application, the window motor already provides an option without additional external gearing.

I see no reason to use the throttle motor, personally.
