Hello,
I'm trying to make a prop that uses a small motor in the 4-6 RPM range, it needs to be relatively light, and does not need a lot of torque. I've found links to some on the Internet but places are either out of stock or I'm ordering from China. I see some on E-bay but I'm not savvy enough with motors to make heads or tails of the specs. A vent motor or reindeer motor (I had one on order but then it was canceled because they ran out of stock) would work, like what is in the cauldron creep people talk about, which is sorta like what I'm trying to do.

Any help locating the right one would be appreciated.
Thanks
Crow

Have you looked at the vent motors from someone here in the merchant sale section? I just got some this year and they're great.

No I have not, thanks for the tip, I'll take a look.

Those small synchronous motors work really well, but they come form China and it might take you a couple of weeks to get it.

I still have a few of those motors ($4.90 + $3.80 shipping ebay from china) I sell them for $10 each that includes shipping usually takes 2 to 3 days from the time you pay to the time you get them. These are 5rpm

I had them in a case ($18.50 each) but I'm out

PM me with a email address so I can send you a paypal invoice if interested
