Bgmotor: The lens motor assembly from BG Micro is the best deal I have come across for geared motors. $9.99 is hard to beat for the small size and quality of motor. If you have them or are planning to get some, I have found a bonus feature of theirs. On the motor drive shaft, there is a spring clutch with the drive gear attached. To disassemble, simply compress the compression spring and twist the plastic end. Place your drive, gear/arm/leg/leg's where the original drive gear is. Any 0.1" thick material, with a XX hole in it could be used. Need a higher clutch force, then leave the original gear on as well as your material thickness and reattach plastic lock. I found it necessary to better attach the plastic clutch assembly to the motor drive shaft, and applied superglue as necessary. With this approach I am please with the speed with which a drive system can be attached.
