Thanks Ben!

The reason I asked is because I will be running 120vdc in my Geo Storm (if and when I get it done). So I was trying to find out what I should look for and if it would be safe to overvolt it. I know motors usually have a Service Factor on them (usually 1.0, 1.15, or 1.25) and was wondering if you had calculated the overvoltage by the service factor. But since the dataplate wasn't available, I guess you just experimented with it.

In your opinion, what would be a decent price for a used motor (forklift)? I can't seem to find a used Advanced DC or Warp 9 anywhere at the moment so thought I might look at forklift motors.
