Hi Patrick,

Thanks for the offer but I only want to buy small quantites (less than
10) - I assume you supply to OEM?. It's just for hobby development of
simple robots. I need small motors but they need to be efficient and
these seemed the best.

Hi ! Gareth,

I think so. We will try sampling for you. By the way, the sample order
confirmation is based on the Mabuchi motor.

Robots development is interesting. Hope we can lucky to supply you.

Have a nice day !

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for the suggestion but when I tried e-mailing mabuchi they
ignored me. Guess they're not interested in hobby development. It's a
shame because the alternative hobby motors you can buy are really
inefficient!

Thanks anyway.

Lets go through a list of possible suppliers.
Maplin, do some Mabuchi motors. TotalRobots, do some. Model-dockyard, do
some for boats. Several of the slot car suppliers do models used in these,
and similarly, Tamiya, use some models in their cars, which many model
shops will stock. Model shops doing electric fight, will also carry the
high efficiency models.

Best Wishes
