Trolling ebay for motors, opinions welcome.

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

The Tesla roadster setup?? That isn't supposed to be there!!

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

Prestolite MTC-4001 Electric Motor Perfect for Vehicle - eBay (item 270643047804 end time Oct-07-10 15:53:07 PDT)
one of you? I'm considering it.. DC and a little on the small side but seems like a solid motor+price.

Honda hybrid motors:

maybe

00 - 06 Honda Insight Hybrid Electric Motor Engine IMA: eBay Motors (item 280570555449 end time Nov-02-10 16:52:51 PDT)

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.

how does this look?

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.

This dude always has forklift motors:

DC Motor # 307613 36/48v Forklift & Electric cars - eBay (item 180568778270 end time Oct-07-10 12:23:27 PDT)

And this one looks like a real winner, but WAY out of my price range. Also, coupler might be tricky:

36 / 48 Volt DC Forklift motor GE # 97F20 ? 30040 New! - eBay (item 200524600284 end time Oct-27-10 13:36:31 PDT)

And then there's this beauty, but you'd have to convince him to ship it. And he's wrong about the amps, it's 355 amps!!
