Re: Globe Motor Durability Versus RS-545
Thanks for the update.
I took a globe apart and yes, the brushes are pretty heavy duty, materially bigger, wider than what is on RS 54x motors I believe.

I forget the First rules. Are you allowed to put a different gearbox on a globe (though not easy with its big shaft) ? How about modify a globe gearbox to take out a gear set or 2 ? I really needed a ~25/1 globe. I believe it is currently a 117/1 planetary ?

Has anyone seen the KV, Io etc specs on the Globe ?
