Default Re: Where can I get a faulhaber 3557k012cr motor?

the Faulhabers are great motors, especially where on need much power in a compact unit. The 3557 is a pretty pricey engine, and possible quite overkill when it comes to power on a 740) Can recommend to test the Servonaut TM120 motor, strong and a good price. (The one with a gearbox is called GM32U450) Use them with Tamiya trucks with semi tippers, twice the weigth of a 740 I would suppose, gets the job done. I'm not familiar with what motors are in the 740 originally, but have heard several complained about the power. Some even throw out the 3 speed, and put a 1 step planetary gearmotor.

Here is a hobby dealer in Germany that have the Faulhabers, possible a bit better price than the industrial dealers, that likely also are in the US

(the Faulhaber motors does not have the same 'engine brake' power as standard DC motors, more feels like turning a brushless motor, even they are not brushless)

Will the servonaut s20 speed control be able to apply brakes? Or will the truck roll on it's own if it's on a hill?

The S20 is suitable also with braking Faulhaber motors/ 'coreless motors'
