Hey Adam,

Welcome to the forum!!

I came across an FAQ on DFrobots site and it listed the following:

  • Input Voltage: 12V
  • Rotation Speed: 160RPM
  • The maximum current for this chassis is 200mA, unfortunately we do not have a separate reference number for these motors.

I’m not sure if the listed 'maximum current is for both motors or one individually.
Was there any specific information that you were after? Shaft size etc?

Is the motor a brushless or brushed dc motor?

Hi Darvind,

Given that there are 2 wires this would be a DC motor.

Thank you, but is it brushed or brushless?
Because if it is brushless, then it wouldn’t be compatible with my brushed dc speed controller, they need to be the same, please correct me if i am wrong, still very much a beginner to electronics

Hi Darvind,

This would be a brushed motor.

Brushless DC (usually referred to as BLDC, not DC) motors usually have 3 wires for each of their phases.
