## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=POLOLU-1079:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/POLOLU-1079:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

| Mini gearmotor with bracket and hub. |

These universal mounting hubs are designed to work with most [3 mm diameter shafts](https://core-electronics.com.au/#), including round shafts, “D” shafts, and [Tamiya’s 3 mm hexagonal shafts](https://core-electronics.com.au/#). Each of the two included hubs has four mounting holes for [\#2-56 screws](https://core-electronics.com.au/machine-screw-2-56-7-16-length-phillips-25-pack.html) (not included), letting you mount custom wheels or mechanisms to your motors. The two included #4-40 hex set screws (one for each hub) allow secure coupling of shaft to hub, and a [0.05″ hex wrench](https://core-electronics.com.au/hex-allen-wrench-0-05.html) (often the smallest size in SAE Allen wrench sets) is included for use with the set screws. A dimension diagram of the hub is available under the resources tab.

The picture to the right shows a hub with one of Pololu’s [mini metal gearmotors](https://core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/POLOLU-990) and a [Pololu mini metal gearmotor bracket](https://core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/POLOLU-1080). These hubs will work with any Pololu mini/15.5D mm metal gearmotor or [micro metal gearmotor](https://core-electronics.com.au/#), and they also work with 60 mm, 70 mm, 80 mm, and 90 mm [Pololu wheels](https://core-electronics.com.au/#).
