Possible speed 900 alternative?

[mattsdragons]

Not too sure on this one, how to the specs of these motors compare to the old speed 900's? Possible use for a drive or weapon system?

Runs about 50% faster, and the axle is a tad thicker, but for the rest it's comparible.

In short, or it is a Johnson motor, with the same can as a speed 900 but with another rotor in it, or it's a cheap chinese knock off.

It's useable.

If they are abou the same as the speed 900 it might be worth a shot

I was accidentally shipped one of those when I ordered a S900.

MFA are a British company that make motors so its not a chinese knockoff. I cant see why you couldn't use one. Mounting it might be a pain though with that extra shaft out the back.

EDIT: Woops my bad... Graupner are the germans and MFA are the UK.
