It's says its most widely used as motor for ride on toy cars..... anybody want to take the leap and order some with me??
You can get them through Testco and use the same number as on the website above. $15 a piece.

Let me know what you think. I'm a bit nervous ordering motors if they won't be approved.
While this is likely the same manufacturer and basic motor can, it is not the same part and IMHO would not be first legal. While similar, the performance curves clearly do not match. OEM's like FP often specify alternative or custom windings so its unlikely than we could get the exact motor from Johnson.
