Re: Motors Vs Motors
One thing that I haven't seen mentioned here that I think is important is ease of interface.
Some motors are naturally more suited for work in different speed ranges than others. For example it is easier to gear a Globe Motor for a low speed high torque application than an RS 545 motor. (There are some products such as the Banebots gearboxes that make the task of gearing down the RS 545 and Fisher Price motors easier, but I found the old models gearboxes unsuited for really high reductions, and I haven't had any experience with the new models)
Additionally the physical characteristics of a motors output shaft may make them more difficult to use. Personally I wouldn't use the window motors for anything unless it is really necessary, because they have an odd output shaft that may be difficult to connect stuff to.
