Eric,
Concerning the motor you are specifying for your turret. Just to let you know,
similar motors can be bought at Jameco.com or any number of suppliers for around
$2.50. There's no need to pay $15 for the motor your looking at. I'm using a
24volt gear motor similar to those at the following link to spin my turret. It
works well (just ask Frank) and I highly recommend it.

FYI, I think the MECI motors you're looking at (part number 420-0559?) are the EV
Warrior motors that Bryan is using in his Tiger (T008). You should contact him for
ideas on reduction ratios and such.
