Dual output shafts, 3–6VDC, and the standard TT footprint that fits every common bracket, wheel and chassis. Choose the gear ratio first The ratio decides the trade between speed and torque. It is the single most important choice on this page, and the three motors are physically identical from the outside — so pick deliberately. 48:1 — about 200 RPM at 6V, 120 RPM at 3V. The standard buggy motor: fastest, lowest torque, and the highest stall current (~1.1A at 3V). 120:1 — about 100 RPM at 6V, with roughly 2.5× the torque of the 48:1. The right pick for lifts, geared mechanisms, and anything running from two AA cells. 220:1 — about 45 RPM at 6V. Maximum torque, slow. For winches, screw drives and heavily loaded mechanisms. Running from batteries Two AA cells give 3V nominal, and that voltage sags under load. If your mechanism is geared, loaded, or lifting anything, use four AA cells (6V) or step up to the 120:1 or 220:1 — a 48:1 on two AAs is the most common reason a project "doesn't have enough power". Lead options Bare tinned leads — for soldering or screw terminals 10cm male Dupont — 0.1" pins, straight into a breadboard 10cm female Dupont — sockets, straight onto header pins 15cm JST PH 2.0 — for driver boards that use the JST PH connector Specifications Operating voltage: 3–6VDC (6V recommended) Dual (biaxial) output shafts, standard TT 3mm double-D Body: 70 × 22 × 18mm No encoder, no speed control and no positional feedback These cannot be driven directly from a microcontroller pin — you need a motor driver. A DRV8833 works all the way down to 3V; a TB6612 needs 4.5V or more. **Product Type:** DC Gearbox Motor ## Images - [Image 1](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkCRxZJIghwdXIGOwBUSSIMYmxvYl9pZAY7AEY=--245326e3cbdd012371db353d9c5fc05deafdd683/image_98d7f011-7089-41f9-bc6f-62ce31ba2e52.jpg) - [Image 2](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkCBPFJIghwdXIGOwBUSSIMYmxvYl9pZAY7AEY=--4038c770a7dc8223e76a4703383356fa129b4cca/image_c4f040c0-6467-4ae2-a30e-49bd349fcd67.jpg) - [Image 3](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkCBfFJIghwdXIGOwBUSSIMYmxvYl9pZAY7AEY=--9669ab1a362b923ec0699dfa919c6b9c7a0929af/image_af4184af-def8-46e6-81b5-2cb5e98a37b2.jpg) - [Image 4](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkCBvFJIghwdXIGOwBUSSIMYmxvYl9pZAY7AEY=--8fdcf7c60a9e01b36a9f9997f2c99c272a3f34b5/image_0e84fa1b-8750-4a75-8ba6-537a2494e547.jpg) --- ## Finding & Searching Products If a part listed here isn't quite what you need, you can search Little Bird Electronics' full catalogue: - **Search by keyword:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={search_term}` — searches title, vendor, SKU, tags, and MPN - **Search via JSON:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.json?q={search_term}` — structured JSON results - **Browse by collection:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/collections/{handle}.json` — products in a specific collection - **Filter in-stock only:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={term}&in_stock=1` - **Individual product detail:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/{handle}.md` — full specs, pricing, stock levels, variants Search supports multi-word queries (AND logic).
