56.8:1 Mini Metal Gear Motor (GM11a, 3mm D-shaped shaft)

56.8:1 Mini Metal Gear Motor

If you're looking for a speedy motor with a reasonable amount of torque (for say, moving a small robot that isn't going to fight in a Sumo contest), the GM11a is an excellent candidate. This particular motor has a 7.4mm long, 3mm dia. cylindrical output shaft that hasn't been pre-ground with a flat spot, so you can be guaranteed a very true-running shaft.

Here are the performance measurements:
