I have used these motors in two model locomotives with great success. Powerful yet capable of very slow running when required.

Excellent product and price, 5 star service THANK YOU
Good motor just right for my tug boat
Enough power, produced quietly.
Does a great job and no problems but I did add capacitors just to be ultra safe
I have bought 8 of these motors for gauge 1 3D printed locos. They perform perfectly.

This 5 pole motor is far superior to the 3 pole. It runs very smoothly and only draws 1.5 amps. The 3 pole took 2.7 amps and heated up the wires. Super motor and made my boat work perfectly.
