Re: small banebot motor with 64:1 gearbox
It's pretty stong - we had a hard time stopping it from spinning. It rotates about 3-1/2 times per second, and that 3/8" shaft, with both a 1/8" keyway and a tapped hole on the end make it easy to mount to. And, the gearbox has those nice mounting holes... We'd been considering the globe motor - it runs at a more suitable speed for what we're doing with it - but went with the Mabuchi just because the 64:1 gearbox & shaft is so nice to work with.
We ran ours in for about an hour, no load current draw went from almost 2 amps down to just over 1.
It does backdrive, can be a disadvantage in some applications.
