I'm not finding the deal Louman got on that 11" DC motor but there is certainly some interesting things to find here.

Not a bad deal for new stuff.. out of my price range though.

one of you? I'm considering it.. DC and a little on the small side but seems like a solid motor+price.

pretty weak, would need 2 or 4 of them.. but a 1 motor per wheel setup would kick ass. or just keep stacking them until satisfaction. They seem lightweight.
25HP for $250, not bad! I wonder what the weight is.. If it's less than 250lbs I'll go for it. Price is right! Gotta wonder why it's so cheap though.

If I'm converting this right it will do 25ft-lbs continuous and 145ft-lb peak. This seems pretty good! I hope it would do more than 3krpm though, at that rate I may need 2 of them. I emailed the company in hopes of getting some specs. It looks pretty solid though, just want to make sure before I go spending that much.
