    I want replace the P3 old original motor to new and improved one but not sure what to choose from. Which one do U guys recommend me buying? Do know anything that will perform as close to an actuator or a dbox. I still have the dof reality control box aswell and the original steel frame. Do you reckon it would still work if you just removed the motor and slap a new one? I got some pictures below

    Can I ask what is wrong with the motors on it now?

    And can you please move the cable and take a clear picture of the spec sticker on the top of the motor.

    Have you considered pulling the motors apart and checking the brushes, which do wear over time?

    you can upgrade your front worm gearbox to SFU-gears, this will be a decent improvement for relatively little money
