lindberg kit question

[jeffdeoranut]

any know what new electric motor would be the equivalent of those put in the lindberg motorized kit?  specifically the 1/24 32 show street rod(32 pick up)

Just about any 3 volt motor similar to this http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/28-12811?scode=GS401&utm_medium=cse&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=google&scid=scplp28-12811&sc_intid=28-12811&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9_Kp4tSi1gIVk1x-Ch3qVwTaEAQYASABEgJJ0fD_BwE should work, but the dimensions of the motor are different from the kit based motor.

If this kit is like the older style Lindberg where building the motor was part of the kit build similar to the one on this box art

finding one of that exact style may be difficult unless someone here has it and just didn't want to mess with it.

the motor at the link you gave me is 12000 rpm...isn't that too many rpms?

that is usually reported with no load and most hobby uses are done with gear reduction, I was merely posting an example.

if RPM is a concern, you can search out other 3v DC motors with different sizes, ratings and RPM's
