A: The specs for the motor are: Voltage = 12vdc RPM = 120 Reduction = 50:1 Stall Torque = 123.20 oz-in (8.8 kg-cm) Outside Diameter = 37mm Length (motor and gear) = 1.92" (4.87cm) Diameter (motor and gear) = 1.45" (3.68 cm) Diameter (shaft) = 6mm Outside Diameter = 37mm Current (at 12v no load) = 90mA Stall Current (at 12v locked shaft) = 1.5A

These motors are twice as strong as the ones that were used last year. You can purchase them here.
