    They are pretty poor second hand motor specs for that much money. Are you just paying for the gearbox?
    Those motors at 12v will only be 65W:(.

    dealer says they are pretty new. The gears are no cheap Chinese copies. Anyway I am going the 24v route and will leave the MMs... discovering new ways :)
