Guys,
The traction motor modifications are complete, I have already started assembly of the initial batch this weekend.
http://www.railflyermodel.com/collections/model-kit-drive-motor/products/mk-9011-traction-motor
The casing required a modification, which is done but if you want to try out the new traction motors for your drive solution, please place your order now so I can assemble the correct amount ASAP.
Its going to take 2 - 3 weeks for the shipments to start, however all components are either here or inbound from our suppliers so its just a matter of time based on the assembly.
The motors can be used on 6V DC. More information will be provided on potential wiring schematics closer to the end of the month.
Here is a video of the prototype 1/87.1 scale traction motor:

You can safely handle 8 - 10 cars easily with these motors. Here is a demonstration with 8 standard freight cars and one traction motor mounted in our GP frame kits:

I do suggest our motor control unit for power regulation. This will be your easiest option and you can power the motors in parallel with plug and play capability with your existing layout.
All the best,
