Brushless motors?

[Gate4jg]

Im looking for 12v brushless motors. Need them for a project that I am at my college. If you have and dont mind giving away or selling to the cause it would help out big time. Right now I am trying to make up some test motors I can use for a ROV. If the web site helps out, I have no problem putting a huge mainely subaru's sticker right on the side of it. lol

I know this may sound ignorant but what is a brushless motor?

there is no way I can put it in the right words.

Only reason I want brushless is because it can run in water.

anything that can be done to track some motors down would be great, Im going to owe a lot of beer. lol

I just sold 3. DAMMIT! I don't have left. To bad you didn't post this before last weekend. I was at the MIT swapfest, gigantic swappage of random computer parts and electronic. Traded 3 nice ones for an oscilloscope.

This stuff comes my way every now and again though, I'll keep my eye out.

How big are you looking for? That is a big factor.

heh, one man's junk.. .. . i threw away an oscilloscope about a year ago. couldn't give it away!

on a side note, i didnt find any motors that were unspoken for. sorry op.
