Re: No-load current and torque [TANKS]

Morgan,
   Thank you.  Actually, there are several dozen of them.  I was looking at 
surpluscenter.com and trying to figure out which ones will work for driving 
a tank.
   The one I was most interested in, however, was the AS02-15-150-F 
"Permanent magnet, two speed, automotive fan motor".

   In the absence of real motor statistics, I picked this one based on it's 
diameter (5") and shipping weight (7 lbs).  That's about as useful as 
no-load current and no-load RPM.
