That is a neat little motor. Certainly a bargain compared to the Robbe version. This is just the thing I am looking for.

$5.50@. Ordered a pair on Monday, shipped Tuesday and arrived today, Friday. Total cost $17.00 for both. No additional shipping charge for second motor.

Attached picture shows one next to a D cell.

38 rpm at 5V
50 in-oz torque
52ma
600ma stall current
built in clutch
7mm double-flat output shaft

Have not tested it yet, but sure looks like it will work well as a radar motor.

Motor is installed and turns 18.5 rpm at 3V.

My mistake was to not tie down the leads immediately after soldering them to the motor terminals. I let the 12" or so wires dangle while I installed it and the very small terminals broke. Fortunately, I ordered two motors.
