Im in search of a small dc motor like 12v or so. i see one i like but the amp load seems high. im wanting to run 2 using 12v power supply using Arduino Motor shield. Do these motor have to have ESC driver? or can i just run it lower amperage on the motor shields. Its designed for rc airplane/heli. but i would like to use it as small cheap dc motor very low torque rmps maybe 5000 max with speed control inside use from wall adapter. or do i need to choose different kind of motor?
sorry basically im planning on making a powerhead for fishtank so will be connected to a small prop to make the water flow. tryign to make an adjustable one so can get the flow tuned in to my liking. so it be be ran continuous 24/7
thats a hobby brushless, you will most likely need an esc to run it, or that would probably be the easiest way. Hobby motors for cars and aircraft like that use tons of power but generate lots too I would recommend looking for a brushed motor at sparkfun, robotshop.com etc it would just make things easier
ok yea thats what i was thinking, just wanted make sure wasnt another way to run them since didnt need the super high rpms they put out. ill have to just go that route. thx
