Yes, if you can find them, they might possibly be better. But, it just may
be a poor motor design, and there's no way to make it do better. Since the
Gecko drives can go to 20 A, using a motor wound for lower voltage might
work quite well.

Of course! They are all built in China from the same castings. And, a
speed
limit of 1500 RPM is really a problem if you want to use small carbide
cutters with it.
