    Any update to any of these links for motors? Been most of them are gone now and I'm having trouble finding something similar.

    Possibly some weeks, but they always do come back into stock.

    Thanks. I found a few other from pgsaw too. The one linked by @Blame73 look decent. I may snag 2. They are not much smaller.

    I actually bit the bullet! I actually snagged 2 of these. http://www.ebay.com/itm/351158629824
    They are slightly larger motors, but I think they will work great! I'm super excited to start doing some testing. I'm going on vacation to Flordia on Tuesday and I'm going to think about this damn project the whole time! :) Now I just need to save up my coins to get the software.

    170-180RPM? A little bit fast IMO.

    Hope I can still make it work. I'm sure I can do something if I have a problem. What kind of problems will I see with motors that are too fast?

    60-80RPM would be fine, if you have to reduce the speed you have to reduce the power, that means you have less torque at least.

    Thanks. I am going to roll with these and keep my fingers crossed. I've seen alot of other examples that were using motors ranging from 150-180. Hopefully I should be good. Thanks for the heads up!

    Hi @Jamburglar I have these motors. The speed is absolutely fine, no need to slow them.
