Tiny Motor For science project :D

[halfracedrift]

Hey does anyone know how much one of these would cost?
i'm looking for like....... a REALLY tiny motor, thats batery powered, but it has nuff power to drive a model car that is round 100 grams... cuz i'm testing FF vs RR in my science project and i need to keep the variables all the same cept for weight distribution.
i live in burnaby vancouver, and i have roughly 30 bucks to spend on one

the motor should be roughly........round 2 cm by 1.5 cm

if ya know any place that is within my reach, please tell me

thanks for all the help guys!

Im sorry, cant help you. But I gotta ask, Why is this in the GT3 Forum??

 

[halfracedrift]

hmmmm
sorry~ accident.... lol

i'd say $1.50.
i used to buy 12v motors alot for my RCs...until i blew them up...and they were like $4.50 @ RadioShack.

ooooh sweeet
ok thanks j2s
and is that USD or canadian?

 

[Sparxxx]

What do you what to do with those motors??

 

[halfracedrift]

i'm planning to build an extremely scaled down model of a RR and FF car
but i realized that by changing the polarity of the batteries i can make it run in reverse
so really all i need is 1 motor

the dimensions of this scaled down model is prolly gonna b around....~9cmX15 cm ish?

Try a high powered Tamiya Dynamo engines at most Hobby shops near you.

You could try www.radioshack.ca or www.princessauto.com , they have lots of small motors and stuff like that in there "Surplus Section" It's in Winnipeg.

But Tamiya's are far more reliable than those cheapo Radio Shack made things.

Dunno about the application in your project, but just be sure that the weight of the "engine" is comparable to in a real car.

Goto radio shack. A thing you could try that would kick ass though is to buy a model airplane motor and try to get that to work. They are gasoline powered though I believe.
