Re: Quieter motors?

If you get different motors you'll also need to get Hobby RC speed controllers to power them. The Vex motors have speed control built in. You can probably find slightly quieter motors if you really look for them. You can certainly find stronger motors anyways. You're unlikely to find any quieter servoes. The noise is mostly coming from the gears that are slowing the motor down, and every servo has a gear train like that.
