Motors burn out quickly

These motors were purchased to replace the motors in two small fans. When powered at 6V, two of them burned out within 2 hours of use.

Pros
  • Rugged finish
Cons
  • Damaged

Toy motors so don't expect much

These are your typical runcunk motors and they work great at 3VDC. Don't try to use them with AC power as they will just oscillate and burn out. You can build a small water wheel generator out of it to power the LEDs at night :)

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Boring packaging

Weak wires and cheap materials

cheap design. The cables are loose and suitable for one use only. Of the 18 (3 packs) I bought, only 11 actually worked. This happened after an hour of reconnecting the motors to the battery holders (sold separately) and securing with tape. Even then, they didn't work all the time until the press failed. This was a big disappointment for my students trying to build simple robots.

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
