john davidson 1 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Left a Volantex F16 Falcon motor running in an attempt to flatten the battery, bad idea, overheated the motor which took umbrage. SO now looking for a source for one of these tiny dc motors, anyone? Edited February 26, 2023 by john davidson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leccyflyer Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 John - there's a supplier in the US which has the motors in stock. https://rcmodelsonline.com/product-category/volantex-plane-parts/761-10-f16/ Do you have any relatives in the USA who could take delivery and then pop a couple in the post? Otherwise they do ship to the UK, but the shipping costs might be quite high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john davidson 1 Posted February 26, 2023 Author Share Posted February 26, 2023 No, only relatives are Canada or Oz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leccyflyer Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Worth dropping the supplier en email for shipping cost then, if you can wait for surface mail it might not be too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
