    hello everyone, is it possible to use a 300rpm gearbox dc motor for 2dof?? because I have read and mostly put on 75-150rpm. I found a used my1016 scooter with a gearbox, with 24v 300rpm specifications, I think for strong torque (because it's a used scooter) the specifications are in the photo. is it possible to use the motor before i buy it. because in my country it's hard to find a used wheelchair dc motor that is 75-150rpm.

    and what are the advantages and disadvantages if the motor is too large rpm or low rpm?

    for now I'm still using a used mig welding motor. the beat is loud and not smooth, either because of the motor or the settings in simtools. and what is the purpose of people adding rubber or springs on each corner of the seat and connecting to the bottom base. can it make the beat smoother???
    Maybe you can help sir @noorbeast thank you so much sir

    the gear ratio is 9.78 you need a ratio probably nearer to 40:1
