    Hope the mods don't mind me asking this in here as its not strictly related to rc / models etc. Well it kind of is.
    Im looking to source a motor for one of my tattoo machines that packed up on me the weekend and it looks like a motor from a model car / heli / plane.

    Maybe someone here can help as Im finding it hard to locate one.

    Its a dc motor 6-15 volts dc around 10 watts is fine but higher isn't really an issue.
    The diameter is 22mm and the length is 32mm.
    I could probably get away with a shorter motor but maybe not a narrower diameter.I could probably build it up with tape if needs be though.

    Closest I can find is this one here but the rpms on it are huge--Max Id need is around 10,000 - 12,000 rpm.

    Id appreciate any help with this one.
    Thanks.

    Browsing for tools in Marks Model Hawkins Street 'Bricks & Mortar' shop, I came across electric motors on sale, to the wall on the right of the shop counter. Why not ask the nice man behind the counter about a suitable motor for your machine :)
