    This motor is from Motion Control Products - UK, it's similar to Motiondynamics from Australia. This is a solid motor, 3000 RPM but with 50:1 gearbox = 60 RPM. 60 RPM is not that fast for racing simulator, it's better maybe for flying simulator.

    If you take 25:1 gearbox, you get 120 RPM which is much better.

    But you need to check how much Watts do these motors have, or how much Amps do they use (No Load / with Load). Once you know the amperage, you can then decide which motor control boards you can use with those motors.
