Product ReviewsMabuchi RS-555PH-3255 12V DC Motor

Great little motor- lathe builder

Good for powering small devices with proper power source and wiring. Running sufficiently with good output. Can power a homemade lathe as I'm attempting to do. Great for homemade drill motor with proper power source bought separately (wire/battery). Medium rpm with high torque makes for a good lathe or drill motor. I'm building a lathe and hopefully this is enough rpms. Fit lathe adapter right to motor shaft or spindle. Read full review...

Did not last

The motor fit fine and did the job but stopped working in about a week! I will be installing the second one that was ordered! I am hoping this one works longer!! The price was great hope my second one lasts longer! Have not asked for a replacement for the one that stopped working! I would take it if they were to send it!!Read full review...

Great Price and Works Flawlessly

I bought this $8 motor for my deer feeder. The other brands want $20. It works great. I am overly satisfied with this thing. It is exactly the same and is actually more quiet than the original one.

Great Little Motors

Sturdy little motors, great quality. One thing to note is that the Mabuchi website doesn't have a specific datasheet for this model, so if you need to know the aspects of the motor you may have to do some testing yourself to get the numbers.Read full review...

Bear RESISTANT

Incredible feeder, Up for 2 days at 8 ft high and a very large black bear swatted it of so hard that the battery disassembled itself as the unit flew 20 ft. I put in a new battery and the unit works fine now.Read full review...

Motor for S-Helper Loco

This motor worked perfectly in a S Gauge S-Helper SW-9 loco. Low running and stall current. Had to cut shafts and was able to press on flywheels easily.

Time will tell

Motor as described..it is not totally enclosed so must be taken into account for application.
