Ok, here is an extrapolated result for the short circuit (stalled) test. The current at 9 volts would be 3.6 amps. Since I did not wish to burn up the motor, I checked current readings at both 3 and 6 volts and also measured the DC resistance and (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jan-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

That figure was the normal operation (no load) figure. What concerned me was that it was a factor of almost 20 higher than the gear motors which normally run about 10mA. Of course, it is very easy to overlook the fact that the gear motor is (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jan-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

(...) Yes, I did too. Judging from the performance of the RC car, you'd think the motors would be equivalent to perhaps 8, or more, of the geared 9V motors. The buggy can really zip along!

This is interesting information, thanks TJ. I must say that I got the visual impression that the buggy motors seemed to have more than a mere 2 - 3 times more shaft power output than the gear motors.
