Awesome. Thanks, madmax.

After being under water for a few hours then kept wet for a few days and letting air get to it by removing the electrical connection at the end this motor....





Still ran just like it did the first time I hooked it up

Nice! Thanx MadMax for all your dilligent testing. This is one tough motor.
I ordered four of the motors today.

Hi and thank you for your love of the industry and your professionlism I am really excited about this prop you have created and wanted to see if you got the private message i sent you Sir . Thank you and talk to you soon . And keep up the phenominal work

Darn, I had missed the update. That is good news indeed! Thanks so much for testing this. A cheap waterproof motor... thought this was only in my dreams

Ok, I just checked the shipping on 1 motor...$11.20 ??? that is insane! so, the total cost would be $14.19. I hate those teasers on price that look so cheap then they stick it to you with the shipping.

well, priority mail is a little cheaper $7.45 so total = $10.44 a little better

I wonder if you can find these even cheaper at the junkyard? Are the outdoor reindeer motors the same thing?

This has been brought up before. It's just one of those things in business. Because of the minimum costs from any of the delivery services and the effort of packing an order, it really isn't cost-effective for a company to sell a single $3 item. Might not seem fair but I sell a lot on eBay and that's just the way it is.

I ordered a dozen of these a while back and think I paid only a little more than they quoted you for just one. You probably don't need 12, but that makes the order worthwhile for the company. And the weight for 12 wasn't that much more than for one since the box makes up a large part of the weight on a single unit.

Actually, Ebay does not like it when you inflate shipping and handling. They used to shut down your listing if they suspected inflated prices. Now, they are charging you for both your sell price and your shipping to get rid of people who have been inflating their shipping and handling.

It would look better if they put a normal price for 1 motor purchase and have a legitimate shipping price. Then, give a discount for multiple orders with combined shipping.

The teaser up front hit with high shipping and handling after is just bad business.

But that's there business model. It's a surplus dealer - they list the quantities of an item available there on each page. They want to sell in larger quantities and probably don't really care about single-item sales.
