I thought I heard someone say. that the motors used in the 12V max drills were the same motors used in some remote control rece cars.  not sure if the info is true or not.

Just about every sub-compact 12v lithium driver on the market, is currently using a MABUCHI MOTOR. and yes they make motor's for toy's.

Has anyone else noticed that the new dewalt 20 volt batteries are very reasonably priced.  I hope they are almost just as good as the old iron phospahate batteries.  I am really hoping that the 20 volt line will come out with a 3/8 impact that is powerful.  I was going to pick up the Dewalt 18 volt 3/8 impact, but it isn't really powerful.  I don't want to buy milwaukee after the V28 experience, but they have a very powerful 3/8 impact.

The new 20v line looks promising I will have to check back after some tests...

It might be cheaper for me to just buy the 20 volt line.  It would be better than going to home depot every week to keep seeing how they feel in my hands.  If I buy them, I can just put them in my hands here at home.  I am hoping that they release a 3/8 impact driver.  That is what I am holding out for.

Does anyone know if the 20 volt max line has new motors or do they have the same tried and true motors that were in the 18 volt line.  I am mainly interested in the motor on the impact drivers.

I've taken the DCF885 apart, and it look's to be the same.
