Also, keep in mind that low rpm torque isn't the aim when going electric, that uses a lot of battery capacity, so you are looking at spinning the electric motor fairly fast to get that rock crawling ability, and that requires higher battery voltage. Any ideas where to purchase electric components and labor guide ?

With one of these, I could build my own clock for around US $200—and one that’s about 200 times as accurate as a typical quartz clock. A battery backup connected to this port is needed to prevent resets due to power loss—using one of the popular coin-cell-based real-time backup clocks would be pointless due to their relative inaccuracy.
