Hi Joshua,

It looks like this motor is more of a value option and the manufacturer wont have run the tests to determine it.  
If you’re after some in-depth specs I’d have a look at Pololu’s range of motors (the closest I could find): [380:1 Micro Metal Gearmotor LP 6V | POLOLU-4790 | Core Electronics Australia](https://core-electronics.com.au/380-1-micro-metal-gearmotor-lp-6v.html)

The spec sheet for these motors goes really into depth: [https://www.pololu.com/file/0J1487/pololu-micro-metal-gearmotors\_rev-5-1.pdf](https://www.pololu.com/file/0J1487/pololu-micro-metal-gearmotors_rev-5-1.pdf)

PS: a neat tidbit of information on how those numbers are extracted and why its good paying an extra dollar for good documentation: [System Identification Overview - MATLAB & Simulink](https://www.mathworks.com/help/ident/gs/about-system-identification.html#:~:text=System%20identification%20is%20a%20methodology,in%20time%20or%20frequency%20domain).
