    okay gentlemen,

    I need advice about which engine to order.
    I have found these 3 motors.

    why buy or why not?
    please explain why one is better than the other

    I'm making a full frame motion seat. (heavy frame)
    I want the motors on the front of the frame and universal joint at the center of gravity

    The CTC is too large and the Torque of the motor very low to drive most designs.
