    Hi, I'm in the infancy of acquiring all the bits for my 2dof rig, has anyone had any experience with Puma 40 motor's, are they strong enough. Any advice on suitable second hand motors would be appreciated?

    Do you know the specs for the Puma 40 motors and do you have a product link for them?

    Those should be fine for most designs.
