sitsinhedges Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 I think off the shelf flappers are slower than that, something like 200, but some have upgraded to the faster motors available on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davyo Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) impressed mate, give me the size`s to get started.. These are the motors I used on the mk2,they are much beefier and so have stronger gearing.They are about 38 mm wide and 75 mm in length.The small motors on the mk1 where weak if the motor was met with any resistance( same motor as in 95% of the market flappers).The Mk2 motors are about £8 uk but about £3.50 ( free postage) on the slow boat if you can find a decent none uk supplier.I found a cracker but have lost the details,I was getting motors for £3.50 and timers( the very same as uk because I've bought both and compared them) I was getting for £3 each.
