See above - I tested this thing and it runs gangbusters at 1.5V (about 6000 rpm) - and it even turns at about half that at 0.7V. So that quoted starting voltage is b.s. based on what I'm seeing. I do have a voltage/ohm meter - unfortunately it's tricky to measure the resistance of a motor properly due to back EMF and stuff. If you guys know a simple procedure let me know and I'll do it.I wonder why it even works... starting voltage 2VDC?? 120mA current should be doable with a MOSFET, though.
Sorry, I have to call it a day.
Cheers
