This 143:1 gear motor is much like the GM2 gear motor but runs at nearly twice the speed. Great for robots needing speed over torque!
Description [Hide]
This motor is much like the GM2 gear motor but runs at nearly twice the speed.

- 44.4 in*oz torque
- 50mA free-running current
- 400mA stall current
Do you need to mount something to the shaft of the motor? Although it doesn't work as well as on other motors because of the GM8's shorter output shaft, the GMW is a solid platform for a variety uses. Alternatively, you'll also find that a #2x1/4" SMS screw will provide a suitably snug fit.
(Motors are sold individually, wheels are not included)
