SparkFun will be closed on Tuesday, November 5th to support our team in being able to go out and vote! Orders placed after 2 pm MT Monday, November 4th will ship on Wednesday, November 6th. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
This motor has a 3mm D-shaped metal output shaft that matches the Pololu wheel 42x19mm and 32x7mm. The face plate has two mounting holes threaded for M2 screws.
These motors are intended for use at 6V. In general, these kinds of motors can run at voltages above and below this nominal voltage, so they should comfortably operate in the 3 – 9 V range. Lower voltages might not be practical, and higher voltages could start negatively affecting the life of the motor.

If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.
Skill Level: Rookie - You may be required to know a bit more about the component, such as orientation, or how to hook it up, in addition to power requirements. You will need to understand polarized components.

Will this motor interfere with this? https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10530
from my experience, these are EMI bombs. Make sure you don't have any non-differential encoders or other sensitive parts in the system.
like this maybe? https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10530
Have you tried placing a small ceramic capacitor across the motor terminals?
In description you say it has a 7mm D-shaped shaft, but it is 3mm. And wich reduction ratio is correct 26:1 (title) or 25:1 (features)?
I think the 7mm is not diameter, but length.
Will sparkfun carry motors that are good for DIY multi-copters?
Indeed: A few nice brushless motors would be awesome.
