    FAQ

    • The wires on my motor do not match the Product Wiki. They are Blue - Black - Yellow - Green - Red. They certainly can't be connected to an Arduino as they require 12V. What type of connector does it use?

      What is the speed of the motor? Is it 7000 rpm or 159 rpm?

    • Hi! How loud is this motor? I can't find any info on that. Are there any videos showing sample operation?

      A little noisy, just like a normal motor, but the connection is very convenient.
