erco's in love! Big slow gearmotors ~$8 each, plus $1 shipping each. Available in four gear ratios, your choice of 3.5RPM, 15RPM, 30RPM or 70 RPM: http://www.ebay.com/itm/332053386842

I got two of the 70RPM units to slow down my too-fast Stingray many moons ago:

    The slow ones might be good for general animatronics, and it can be hard to find good new (non surplus) motors for <5 RPM for holiday displays. Too bad this seller doesn't have any in the unloaded 100-160 RPM range

    70RPM@12V motor =140RPM@24V with bonus smoke

    Troo enough, though we usually like to go 6-7.2V, which means 35 RPM. Won't win that line following contest, 'fraid to say.

    $15 gets you these gearmotors with encoders and stylin' wheels. No idea what the gear ratio is. Who's a gamblin' man?
