it looks quite good to me, never seen it before.
cheers alex
Thats an ancient store, and though some of the components are at a good price this is a case of you get what you pay for.
I used http://www.distel.co.uk/Asps/details1.asp?ID=HN62http://www.distel.co.uk/Asps/details1.asp?ID=HN62 in a robot a long time ago and this particular motor isnt too bad for a budget project but Id reccomend that its better to invest in gold motors which are a similar size if you were thinking of using them, to avoid having an underpowered machine.
What are you thinking of building?
All the best
THINKING OF BUILDING MY SECOND robot just trying to source the parts. so can you still buy from this site?

just seen they price........alot!
They are very good!
Very high power in a small package, just wish the price was as small :)
i saw them on that website about $300, is this their normal price?
alex
Yup
You can sometimes pick one up cheaper second hand on here but to be honest, unless your putting one in a featherweight disc I would look for something a bit smaller.
If you are thinking of putting one on a featherweight spinner...Be VERY careful these motors are extremely powerful, and not to be messed with in that sort of application unless you have a serious understanding of spinner and chassis construction, paticually with regard to the long term effects of impact stresses and shock loading.
