Re: What is your favorite motor....
By far, the best motor in the in the kit is the small CIM. In most any application, it's a robust, powerful, and forgiving thing. It basically cannot be burned up, and for that reliability alone, it's better than the FP. It has equivalent power and efficiency, and though heavier, it's easier to design into gearboxes, abuse, and needs almost zero maintenance.
It's big little brother is even more forgiving, but it's weight and lower power negate this significantly.
But, a big thanks goes out to the old Van Door motor- that thing was robust and easy to design around, which saved us many times in the past.
