Wow, i just put myself in this same predicament, prop to big, motor to small, running out of time and your video just saved my Halloween! Thanks for sharing!
Question: Look like we have very similar deer motor models. Except you're has a screw hole which mine doesn't. It relies soley on a plastic drive arm inserted onto it. Did your model come with the screw hole or did you have to drill the screw hole?
At some point these motors must have changed. For example, I have a couple of newer ones that don't have the extra outlet. All of mine have a rotating metal spindle that has a hole in it already. Then, there's a white plastic arm that slips over the spindle, and that has a hole too (at a 90° angle). So you can theoretically use the motor to spin on a vertical plane or a horizontal plane.
Nice work! I wonder if anyone can help with my little predicament? I'm new to all rhis and want to make a small sculpture ( maybe a foot high) of what looks like a person pushing a baby on a swing. I thought maybe a wiper motor or deer motor but could be totally wrong. Something relatively slow too. One above the swing to move the swing itself and another motor that makes the person move back n forth as though its pushing the swing. Please heeeelp x
What is the little piece that connects the motor shaft to the aluminum rod? I went to HD and couldn't find anything close. My deer motor shaft comes with the typical screw, so it looks like you replaced the screw with this piece.
@@gattusog The corner brace I get. It's the piece that it connects to that baffles me. When I remove the rotation arm, the 'axle' is just a solid piece with the hole up top to screw the rotation arm. So imagine looking down on the motor. All I have is the screw going downward in the vertical plane. But in your video, you are securing the corner brace to the motor with a screw across the horizontal plane. I'm building your tomb popper. I can certainly address my problem with connecting two corner braces to each other (180 degrees=horizontal plane). I was just wondering how you did it with one corner brace. If this is unclear, do you have email or FB and I can send you photo? BTW, I was in Hilo this past summer. Just narrowly escaped the hurricane.
It sounds like your motor is different than mine. When I take off the plastic arm, the metal axle has a hole in it. That's how I attached the brace -- with a sheet metal screw. I put some photos here for you to look at: app.box.com/s/bf02ssq424zpufj4xwjgunc47yfznquq Also, I get my motors from Kindy's www.kindys.com/products/decorating-accessories/replacement-motors/replacement-motor-48-animated-buck Good luck and feel free to ask me anything.

do you have a break down on what size are the cuts of the pvc thanks michael
I don't have those specs but I just posted a new video of a smaller zombie. The measurements are in the description.
