Re: 2005 Fisher Price specifications
Just looking at the specs, the FP motor is the most powerful motor in the kit now. Even stronger than the CIM with some a nice gear down. I got this by multiplying stall torque and max RPM and the fact that it had a higher max power generated. Using that measurement of lb-ft-rpms i got eleven thousand something for the FP and about nine thousand for the CIM. Just for comparison the window motors were down around 600. Huge difference in power.
The issue though is that a FP can't take anything close to stall torque for any period of time. It needs to spin fast to power its fan. I learned this the hardway when i built an arm for stack attack powered by 2 fp's and a globe. They get searing hot in a jiffy, and smoke follows soon after. That didn't stop them from functioning though.
