I know this, I should've mentioned them too. I have a list of suppliers but it's at work. I've found a 24V 700W motor from Bosh for a work project and it was rater from -40 to 80 degrees C. However you really should consider using a higher volage at this power level, I'd use >36V.Nigel Goodwin said:Bosch make plenty of suitable motors, check the Robot Wars sites - it's the sort of things they use! - they also usually over run them to greatly increase their power.

To many, this seems like an easily available motor. But in fact they are not good motors for conventional uses and we really cannot advise their use under any circumstances.
