DCB Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Is it still running with the belt drive? There are lots of tiny motors in Tower computer CD drives which would have been ideal for this model. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgundy Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 Is it still running with the belt drive? There are lots of tiny motors in Tower computer CD drives which would have been ideal for this model. It is still running with belt drive but, I admit, it has not been out recently. Can you suggest a good website for small 12v motors please? It is always useful to have some different options available, although the advantage of this particular system is that Nigel Lawton also supplies pulleys and driving bands to create a drive train.
