Hmmmm. I wonder how these compare to PDSGBs in price and performance and quietness? A YouTube search is in order.

And still no special boxes for the Sherman :'(

It's downright Shermist. . . .

Dave, would you be stating in your listings the overall width, as in, end of shaft to end of other shaft? As well as the unit width excluding the shafts?

I ask, as this information would be very useful for scratch builders :thumbup:
Or people like me that would like to know if I could bodge one of these boxes into the wrong tank ;)

Mick, with a grinder and some sticks like sh*t anything is possible :D
I would be interested to know if the HL/PDSGB are interchangeable as the baseplate looks just like the PDSGB
one ???

No mention of high or low speed, wonder if they are only doing one speed?

If these become popular will they do base plates and drive shafts , as its a modular system fit it would be easy to switch motor units between tanks.

Wonder why they have a different high or low motor position option? Jimster, there is very little information about them online as they are brand new for HL. I saw them a while back, but Forgebear is the first vendor I've seen that has got a shipment besides when I saw them on Ebay months ago. I should've picked one up back then for the hell of it, but I didn't know they would disappear for this long.
