Hello there!
Could you tell me the maximum voltage for the little HGLW motor ?
Thanks for your help.

The motors we supply are rated at 3v DC
However they will operate on 1.5v and up to 6v, but you risk damaging them over time.
The max I would suggest if you are wanting to r/c the loco is 4.5v
Finally, just in case you do damage the motor I stock replacements of course
