the "BaneBots rs775 at 12 volts" does somewhere barely above 200 watts at 14.4 volts. the 18 volt version does somewhere around 70.


I am fairly sure that the numbers on BaneBots website are inccorrect, they do match up with a larger motor from this supplier.

this is the larger motor, but as you can see it is not sold in a 12 volt version, so the 70 watts is close to what this would produce at 12 volts as well, none of the Mabuchi specs come even close to the BaneBots specs.

I think you're confused a bit. Motors are spec'd at a voltage, but will run at any voltage (although, they won't last long once you hit a certain voltage).

A motor rated for 18V will run fine on 12V, it will just be roughly 4/9 the power of it on 18V.
