W.W.,
Doc! I figure that something like old motors out of appliances would 'work' but I am looking for something better with internal resistors that is made for RC. Something that will swap out with the gearboxes already installed. Put on that thinking cap, Doc.

If you are referring to suppression capacitors you can solder those on, they are pennies to buy.

W.W.,
Oh yes, indeed, I have loads of those. I was looking for the cans with them built in with quick disconnect wiring and plugs, etc. I will keep looking. Thank you for coming around to help, Doc.

Google ‘surpass 27 turn 550’

First hit will be ”rcmoment” ignore him. Is iffy. Never got my ordered motors, Amazon UK, however does offer those. They’re reasonably cheap.
If You’re daring, You can pick any of the 550 12v/14v motors that are offered, théy are really cheap as chips, but usually come with some plastic gearbox attached.. Just put in “rs-550 motor” in search in Amazon, plenty of choice. Go for the ones advertized as 9,6 to 16v or thereabout.

Good luck.

Good afternoon,
Unless new and shiny jumps off of the Shelf into my hands, I have found new versions of the existing motors which should get the Stuart moving at a slightly faster clip.
