Hi,
I did try to recycle used motors not taking too seriously the resistance (4.7 ohms per coil) and just connected them to my 4988 drivers using 12V. The result is burning hot motors that after a few minutes start skipping steps.
After looking around on Ebay, I saw these Nema 17, 70 oz-in torque, 30 ohms per coil and 0.4A@12V motors for around $16 USD/ each. The questions are: are they good motors? Will they still get hot and skip steps?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

FYI - I have a prusa mendel with linear bearings, wade's extruder and Budasnozzle 1.2 hot end.
