Is building a speed control for a remote control car motor as simple as adding a potentiometer between the + line going to a set of batteries from the motor?
What I am trying to do is build a motorized system for a camera slider:
[remote control car motor] <-- [speed control] <-- [7.2 volt battery pack or 4 X 1.5v AA batteries]
Does anyone have any suggestions for a motor that already has a strong power but does not spin fast, I am connecting a pulley direct to the motor so there are no gears to slow down the revolution??
If the motor runs on 7.2 volts at 10,000 rpm, they say that lowering the voltage will slow down the revolution. Will this minimize the motors lifespan and I can not picture lowering the volts enough to get the RPM I need.
Any help appreciated!
