Anyone checked out this place before? Their motors are way cheap, though the shipping wouldn't be that cheap... any thoughts?

thats not a paticularly powerfull motor.
its not that quick either.
$13 US = $17 here
an Xu-1 is cheaper than that, and you get batteries and (kinda) a speed controller too

now if you were to re-wind one of these ;->

A while ago there was some interest on the actuators used in King Pin and scoopys arm.

Well have finally found these on the website mentioned above for about 29 US bucks.

Postage will probably kill u bit maybe not.

Anyway they are readily available if anyone is still looking.
