High Torque DC Motors

[nickd]

Hey everyone,

Was wondering if anyone had a good source for high torque DC motors that work on 12V.

Looking for something I can put in a car that has positive and negative terminals ( as compared to chassis ground like a starter) and will put out at least 25 ftlbs of torque.

Suggestions??

Thanks,
Nickd

The best way to obtain high torque from a simple 12v DC motor probably is using some kind of speed reducer attached to the motor. It will "swap" velocity for torque.
