    Hmm, slower would look better also I think after watching the clip again, would also help with the chain kink a but.

    I thought the same thing, I'll be putting a speed control in, probably with the shaft connected to a gear on the outside of the case. I had planned to have it turn more slowly without the need for a controller, but space constraints forced my hand on the motor I used. No big deal, turn a gear and it slows down or speeds up, however you want it.

    Controller would be a better option, resisters eventually burn out.

    then replace the resistor.. small price to pay if he has no room or if it will wreck the look

    Very easy to conceal a variable switch plus you have the option to tweak the speed if need be, with a resister you have a set speed, although you would do testing before hand to get the speed right. You could always make a software controller and eliminate the need for a switch or a resistor.

    Software controller is not gonna happen. As for the controller, I haven't decided yet. I could always add it later if I want one, but for now I am actually looking at a different motor with a lower RPM and higher gear ratio. At $7 each I can afford to try a different one. Space is my main limitation, forcing me to use a motor with a 90-degree output shaft (or make some kind of gearbox to transfer the motion 90 degrees). I'll see what this other motor does. The one in the video is rated at 46 rpm at six volts, the new one is only 30 rpm at six volts and 12 rpm at 3 volts. We'll see.

    Whichever way you go about it I'm sure it will turn out great .
