Substitute for Roxxy 2827-35 motors?

[Bartman]

I'm wondering if anyone has found a suitable substitute for Roxxy 2827-35 motors. I thought I had one picked out

but this company appears to be a figment of the internet's imagination.

Anyone have another motor that they think is a good Roxxy replacement?

Thanks,
Bart

What's wrong with the Roxxy's? I ask because I have them on my octo2.

ctbon,
i've been working on a camera mount design and now i'm going to adapt it in a slightly smaller form to an x-8 frame that i'm designing to use the smaller motors. i have the roxxy motors for it from my MK okto but I need a motor that I can plan to use if I ever wanted to produce it for sale. The Roxxy motors are $55 or so each in the US and who knows how long they'll be available. I'd like to find a good motor that is in the $35 range.
the mount will be specifically for the Sony Nex and GoPro cameras or anything of similar size.

thanks Dave, will do. I wrote to them and got a reply with pricing. I've been told that the contact form on their website isn't working so that probably explains why i didn't get a response.
I'm trying to get one motor from them that I could disassemble and inspect so we'll see how agreeable they are to that.

Bartman,

I was wondering what the outcome was?

Any news about the roxxy substitute?

 

[Bartman]

i was about to go with the Tiger motors but then put the project aside for a bit. haven't come back to it yet. will probably get it going again when i eventually buy a smaller camera.
maybe soon!

No problem Bartman!

I just ordered a MT2212-16 to torture on a teststand and see if it can handle what I will throw at it.
