Re: Surplus DC Motors

I have used similar motors to this before. They are obviously a lot more
coggy than a servo but are cheap. One of the problems is that it's not
really practical to use the sprocket as the chain noise is unbearable,
and the shaft is usually too short to drive anything else. The sprocket
is also designed to never come off on the ones I've used.

Glen.
