Looking for motors

[kallend]

Each year I organize a high school model vehicle design contest, with
contruction materials including motor supplied by us. We have been
using Goldberg Turbo 550 motors very successfully for over 10 years now,
and received a good discount for bulk educational purchase.

Now that Goldberg is no longer in business, does anyone know if these
motors are still available, and from what source. Failing that, is
there another similar motor that I can buy in bulk at a reasonable
price.

e-mail answer preferred, to kallend@iit.edu

Thanks.

Lanier R/C absorbed Goldberg and has just recently started re-releasing
Goldberg products. You might want to contact Lanier and explain the
previous relationship and see if they are willing to continue the support.

And if they won't, talk to Great Planes in Champaign.

Now that Goldberg has been absorbed by Lanier, you may be able to find them
through Towerhobbies. Another option would to use an inexpensive Mabuchi
motor like the Zoom 600. These can be purchased in bulk for around $10 a
piece.

FYI to the group;
I accidentally sent this note this morning directly to "Kallend". I
meant to post it here, in case others wanted to know.

Goldburg products are alive and well. The motors are still available.
