The little Mabuchi motor, Who's using it?
The thread title says it all. When I saw this little guy in the kit, I was really curious as to what sort of uses teams would find for it. According to the spec sheets it's only 9.4W, so there's not all that much pep to it. But, I never cease to be amazed at the creative engineering employed by some teams.

So here's your opportunity to show off your creativity. Don't be shy, let us know how you've used the Mabuchi.
