Cim motors - help!

Re: Cim motors - help!

Hi Trevor,

They are a manufacturer rather than a distributor or stockist. As such they will make motors to order and to the customers specification probably in batches of 100 or more. I did phone the UK number and was greeted by a hello and when challenged as to whether he was a business he said he was. Sounds like a one man band in the UK but I did request a catalogue.

Paul - thanks for phoning, as you can see I am getting very annoyed with people who ask me to leave my number and never get a reply. I sent 15 e-mails out one night and did not get a single reply. You may get more of a response as you can contact them through your business, I am too easy to ignore and forget.

Gary - I would love to fit Bosch's but the drive on Meggamouse is shoehorned into a very limited space and an increase in motor diameter means a major re-design of the base chassis and the gear trains. I have some Littons left from Mighty Mouse so if I am desperate I will use them. Ideally, s28-400 magmotors would do the job but was quoted $866 for 2 motors with postage from robotmarketplace, and god knows what else when you add import duty and VAT.

Ommmmmmmmmmmm - I have calmed down now.........

how about iskra motors?

Not sure how they compare dia wise to the CIMs but they are similar if not near identical to a magmotor as we were able to replace the drive motors on typhoon 2 from iskras to the smaller mags purely to save weight.

The AME motors are the ones I have in mind.

Thanks Gary - the AME motors look ideal.

Will look at them seriously tomorrow - I am being dragged off to a birthday party atm
