Members Massive Posted December 4, 2015 Members Report Posted December 4, 2015 I just bought the head of a 153W102. I would like to get a servo motor for it. I have two already, one that Atlas Levy sold that is one of those 3 piece brushless deals. The other is a needle positioning deal for the Cobra class 4, never been able to get the latter to work. Basically there are 4 levels I am seeing. One has brushes and it looks like a dial for speed control. Another has brushes but has an electronic box with digital display for the speed control. Then there are the brushless motors with speed control, and finally brushless with speed control and needle positioning. I don't think I need needle positioning. Other than that it mostly comes down to power and durability. Since I have a Cobra Class 4 for the heavy stuff. I am thinking 500W might be enough. This is a hobby machine so I don't know if brushless is all that advantageous. How often do brushes run out, and how hard will replacements be to find. The full cost variation is not all that great, so getting a good motor from the start is more important than saving some money. Any ideas what size and format to choose? Quote
