Thanks Vk,
I didn't even realize that the teeth could get stripped.
Perhaps using the type of motor used in a scooter wired up to the PWM (if I can't find the entire scooter assembly).
Would something like this work?

Hooked...
That motor looks like it would probably work but I'm curious at what type of PWM I'd need.
Do I have to match up the AMP's? Again I'm quite new to figuring out amps, volts etc. and don't want to mess anything up.
Hi there Vk,
Thanks for the scooter suggestion. I did think of that as a solution and haven't totally ruled it out yet. The only problem is the price of those things. I think it'd be cheaper if I were to "part" it out and wire it all up that way.
Hello all.
First off, I am a total newbie and need some help in getting my "project" up and running.
Here goes, I'm trying to get a dolly (weighing around 50lbs. or so) to move at a fairly slow constant speed.
I'm thinking my best option is to find a 12 volt DC motor along w/a speed control...
