I'd recommend the TM2600 motor, it has steel cogs so should last much longer then the motors with plastic (nylon) cogs.

Or this one, with full metal gears.

the TM2300 will be cheaper(?49 direct from TM but cheaper elseware) and although it has the nylon gears there is not much wrong with that I"ve had an old TM 2100a working for about 5yrs now without problem.

TM2300 from wizard ?40 my best offer

[Manic01]

That model is not full metal gear just a plate been added. Well documented.

[dick b]

didnt say it was(see my post#4)but its a perfectly good motor and he said he wanted the cheapest.

[mdt]

imo stab motors are the best, although not the cheapest. by the way @manic do you use the darkmotor? ive seen a couple on set-ups but have never owned or installed one. regards mdt

Darkmotor looks very nice. I was seriously considering it until I found a BNIB TM2600 on eBay for half price.

The seller had bought it but couldn't figure out how to install it, so he sold it cheap as it had 'scratches' on the bolts and hinges from when he had attempted to install it.
