I haven't found actual specs on the the Taigene motor, but we have determined that it is REALLY WIMPY compared to a similar-looking one we have, probably from 2005. Our very scientific tests involved connecting the two motors to a battery in both directions and observing how much the motors "jump" from torque reaction. The old one jumps a lot more. Our second test was of the "don't try this at home" variety. A person held the motor in one hand and an adjustable wrench on the output shaft in the other hand while a second person connected the motor wires to a battery. The old motor had a lot more torque. The motors have different worm and ring gear designs, and they also have different "winds."
