dalek head needs turning

29-04-2005

I have a dalek made from a compost bucket in the front garden, the head turns with a windscreen wiper motor but its too fast. any one know of a geared 12 volt motor that runs between 6 and 10 r.p.m
cheers keith

6-10 rpm might be a tall order, but you could try this company , they supply robot wars equipment ............

The big cheese robot co.

and for gears/belts you could try HPC engineering

if you send your address to HPC they will send you a free and very comprehensive catalogue,
hopefully you`ll be able to do something with your dustbin dalek

have you tried running the wiper motor on 6v ?, there is another supply company i had in mind but at present their name/web address escapes me .
