Looking for a RC spinning device for an Exorcist head bust.

[Odin82]

Apologies if I'm in the wrong section.

I'm putting together a 1:1 exorcist bust of Regan. I'd love to be able to have the head rotate like in the movie via remote control, but can't seem to find anything suitable online. It could be a moment of brain fade on my behalf, but I'm hitting a wall on this. Just said I'd ask if any members here would know something suitable. At the moment, I have a Regan head/neck, which was going to be foam filled. I purchased a polystyrene mannequin head, that with some adapting, will be able to be placed in the head/neck bust. It would be cool to cut the polystyrene neck at the base of the shoulders, and place some motorised device attaching the two, to enable the head spin.

Anyone out there have suggestions?

Thank you

You could use a winch servo which allows movement past 180 degrees. Also have a look at modifying servos so that they fully rotate. Google should turn up plenty of results.

A modded 1/5 servo would work well here as Oz said. The key thing you need to look at is torque. You could also look into rc lathe motors. A 55t lathe motor would be too slow but you could get something like a 35t and be good to go as well.

Strip down an RC car, remove the wheel and gear it down for a slow rotation
