I never had a mobat as a kid and for some reason now find myself with a small battle group of these things. A few work great, a few intermittent. I have some apart and notice the motors are a little weak. The motors look generic and I suppose that stronger ones are out there cheap so I'm wondering if anyone can tell me a model I might be looking for. I pulled a few motors but could not find any markings to give me a start.
I'm sure I'm not the first to consider this. So, can anyone here help me out? I'd like to do a custom with at least one of them and would really like to have then all working and maybe running a little faster or stronger than original if possible.

I'd be willing to bet most of those views are both lurkers and people themselves interested in any info on the topic. Your best bet might be to scour more electronics oriented forums, RC cars and model railroads, that sort of thing.
In any case, I'll be checking back here myself, I'm curious as well. |

I'm one of those views but I don't own a MOBAT and I'm no expert on motors. I do tinker, but I have no direct experience with a project like this yet. If you want that kind of input let me know.
In any case, can you post some pics of the original motor, gears, and drive axle? A shot of the available space in the shell would also be useful. It might help people to see what you're working with. Do you plan to stick with the original battery setup or switch to something else? Are you going to wire up some lights? Remote control?
