    Best Motor Size to Avoid Burning Out?

    Thanks, d8veh. I'd gotten the impression that the nylon gears can cause problem on the geared motors, but you don't think this is worth worrying about? If that's the case, then I may go with the Q128H, as this seems to be the one that i've come across the most during my searches. Just out of...
