We are currently in the process of replacing the AC motor from a Husky shop vac. with either an RS-555SH Mabuchi motor or an FP. The results of testing with the Mabuchi will tell us if we need to go to the FP.

By the way, we will most likely be gearing up which ever motor we decide to use. We currently are estimating we need something in the neighborhood of 18K RPM.

We had to custom build a shaft to replace the one that is part of the AC motor. If direct driving with either motor works, we will post up pics later tonight or tomorrow. If we need to gear up, that will take another day or so to complete.
