    I used a windshield wiper motor from my truck. I happened to have a
couple extra ones, so I hooked up the battery charger to it after replacing
the arm on the shaft with a pulley. The pulley ran a belt to a pulley on the
shaft that the form was mounted on. The pulley on the motor was about 4"
dia, and the form shaft pulley was 1" dia. I got a little more speed that
way.
    Just an idea, hope it helps...
