## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can these motors be fully submerged in water?**
A: Once.

**Q: How much current does the motor require? Could it be powered with an arduino or would I need a separate motor controller?**
A: For light loads 1/8-1/4A but can spike to 850mA if you try to stall it. Even at 3V, though the RPM's will be lower these motors have decent amount of torque. Probably best for ~5V applications, at 12V they scream. And likely best with a PWM controller, especially at higher voltages.

**Q: I can see two threaded holes on the same side as the shaft. What are the size of the Screws that fit the holes?**
A: They will be metric.  Most of these little motors use a 2.6 mm screw.

**Q: What’s the best way to make the shaft adhere to the whee I choose? It’s perfectly smooth and I can’t imagine it do anything but spinning in place.**
A: You could grind a bit of a flat along the shaft.  Then a set screw or for light duty, just some glue should drive it.
