I made this guy with some scrap wood and a wiper motor. I still have some tweaking to do and will change the outfit and bulk him up some.

here is the inner workings of my new friend:


I think this is a little too fast. was my 1st test:

What do you think...

Pretty nifty. I think that the slower motion suits it far better, so good choice.
looks great did you use one eyed jack prop head from gag studios?

That's one eyed Jack but we call him Bob. Have had him for many years, used on multiple props over the years...
He looks great. The movement is awesome. I think you may want to slow him down just a little. What power supply are you using?
Nice work!
Pretty cool :)
I started with an 8.5v 5 amp power supply I think it was. Then i switched to a 6v 2.5 amp I would like to slow it more but need to get a motor controller for that.
I don't have one, and just started looking around a little today lots of different ones makes it confusing. I figure something out. I need to work on the arm movement some more as well.
You don't need anything fancy. These work great. I would suggest using a 12 volt power supply with them though, I have heard using less can cause issues and noise. I use these ones with 12 volt supplies and they work great. You can turn them down to a crawl and still get plenty of torque.

You might also try a 5 volt power supply. That is what we use in our zombie kit with no speed controller and it works well. :)
