Favorite Motor?

[catacon]

Currently the CIMs. But I will have agree with the Globe motors; those were champs. I horded as many as I could when I was a student.

Personally I'd have to say the BAG motor. It has a lot of applications, and can be used in situations where two smaller motors would usually be used.

I'm not sure I follow. In what ways is it superior to many of the other 500 series motors we have (FP/AndyMark 9015, Banebots 550, etc.)?

It's less power dense, so whereas we've smelled some from our 550 on our shooter, we haven't smelled any some from the BAGs

It won't burn up at the thought of working hard

CIM

Gimme a CIM first (any variety except the Big CIM from '06 and '07--too heavy), then an FP motor with standard gearbox, then a BaneBots 775 or AM 9015 with PG-71 attached. After those, a Globe motor. Fill in the rest of the BB lineup and I think that's about it.

For specialist applications, van door and window motors may move above the others, but it's gotta be a pretty special application, especially one where the others won't work without some form of special gearbox mod.

CIM hands down, love that we get 6 of them this year

I'm on board with the BAG motor this year. Its a 550 without all the problems of a 550.

I have to say for the last 4 years it has been the CIM but my new favorite is the Mini CIM, I love those things so much, especially on Frisbee shooters
Also, this seems like a perfect place to post this picture of a few orders that came in in the last week...

The globe motor, those things were amazing.
Also the Fisher Price, all the RPMs in the world

Am I the only one who likes the 775? Yes, I know it has had problems with case shorts, but it has the thermal mass of a large motor and the power of a 550. Lots of power from a BaneBots motor without the threat of overheating. It also just feels like a pig of a motor when you hold it in your hand.
