Anybody got some calipers? I'm wondering if these will fit for zzmt steering?

Good find!

Those GM15 gearmotors WOULD fit for ZZ-M steering!
ZZ-M steer motors are:
6mm, 0.236" diameter
10mm, 0.493" long can
13mm, 0.512" to end of output shaft
0.78mm, 0.030" diameter shaft for pinion
(ugh I used metric, I feel dirty)

Assuming you could get a pinion on the shaft, they'd work great and the only mod to the truck would be removing or cutting a hole in the PCB cover.

GM2 and GM3 look like they've got a ton of applications in RC!
