Thread: Crank Ghost Motor question

Tweet

So I'm thinking about building my first Crank Ghost this year. I just have a question. Will the tutorials that involve using the Dayton 2Z806 also work with the motor that Monsterguts has instead for a FCG as an exacted substitute, or will there be modification when using the MG motor, because I know that the Dayton one has been discontinued. Here is the Monsterguts motor Electric Motors for Props - FCG Motor - Halloween Prop Building Supplies For The Home Haunter - Monster Guts

And incase anyone is wondering, here is the tutorial that I am using. Flying Crank Ghost

Yes, it should work quite well. I actually used 3 or 4 different tutorials, but that one is detailed enough. Here is the one I actually used :

Amazon.com: Dayton DC Parallel Shaft Permanent Magnet Gear Motor 4.5 RPM,  1/325hp 12 Volts DC # 2L006: Home Improvement

Ya the monsterguts motor is slower with more torque......and the shaft looks goor ...should work fine
