RC-Monster Forums - View Single Post - My new project: Pig Roaster, Rotisserie Motor suggestions please

Hey guys,

Well as the title states my latest project is to build a pig roaster

. Not exactly an R/C project, although it certainly has the potential for that in the future.
I am trying to find a bugdet minded motor setup to use for my rotisserie and when it came to motors you guys were the first ones I thought of.

So what I need is a motor that turns at about 2 rpm thru a gear reduction or what ever. 120v is probably the best option but 12v might be doable using a car battery and maybe a battery charger on to keep the power up. I have found a motor that is sold for this purpose, but the price is crazy, I'd like to keep it under $100 for a motor if possible. Anyway here is the link to the motor to help out with motor specs.

There has to be some sort or motor or gear reduction system that will work for my app 1-4rpm or so and not cost an arm and a leg.
