    hi guys
    brand new to this and feeling quite inspired but i am struggling with motors for a rig i want to build with 2 dof,
    what 12v motors do you suggest and where can i buy them from??
    i'm only going to do a seat mover to get started and will probably add to the rig if it works out..

    many thanks in advance
    Rico
