It would be better to use a PWM circuit to control the speed, with the resistor you will lose torque. Just a suggestion, may be you can find cheaper kits: http://www.hobbyengineering.com/H2246.html Tue, 14 Jul 2009 17:49:11 GMT http://do-it-yourself.tribe.net/thread/aa5b10e9-e1b1-4163-bc38-2540d3675a98#18cec70d-c679-4eec-b4e9-9c769dfd73e9 Giovanni 2009-07-14T17:49:11Z http://do-it-yourself.tribe.net/thread/aa5b10e9-e1b1-4163-bc38-2540d3675a98#6eaae162-f964-4097-bcaa-d0d623998815 heat up... oh my we could have sperm torches..

If get a bunch of 12V motors, I guess a simple variable resistor in line from a 12V battery would regulate speed adequately? Or would the variable resistor heat up i time? I took basic high school electronics but it's been decades now.
