They are very fast (4000+) RPM. So I guess it would be easy to gear
them up to get high torque, and still keep fast rapids. Factoring in
an extra 2:1 ratio would give you a 2000+ RPM motor with 25 in-lb of
torque. That sounds like it hits dead on what is needed.
These suckers (servos) are hard to find new in the box, and
especially in multiple units of quality motors. These motors are
enviornmentally sealed and have cable and connector available.

Any opinions?
