The gears themselves do not appear to be metal, is this correct?

Hi Jasper,

That is likely just a trick of the light, these are definitely a full metal gearbox, anything less would definitely strip given the torque these little motors can apply!

Hi James
You need to be more specific.
The text at the top says a gear box of 150.58:1 and your “details for item 3038” in your reply says 29.86:1. The motor listed above is “3066”
Which is it ???

All the details for this series can be found here

Cheers Bob

Hi Bob,

I had searched our range for a variant in stock so I could pull one from shelf to take different photos if required.

3038 is of the same series and construction to my knowledge, just a different ratio.

Yes. Just a bit confusing for that moment. The full details are in that link above.

Quite detailed actually compared to some.
Cheers Bob
