Re: The little Mabuchi motor, Who's using it?

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

Give me the Mabuchi motor if you didn't use it. I will make a small robot and race your's!!!

... Well I believe that there are a lot of things that can be done with the Mabuchi motor. Just because the motor is small and weaker than the ones supplied in the kit of parts, doesn't mean that it's bad or doesn't work well... wait till you get to the competitions, you will be amazed by what teams have come up with.

... Thanks Karthik for bringing up this topic, I was wondering about the same thing.
