Default RE: RC Electric Motor needed for non rc sciencel project?

With discs that heavy you'll probably burn up an RC motor trying to get them started. If you can do the experiment with a constant speed motor, look into using a starter motor for a motorcycle or ATV or either the starters we use for glow engines. They run on straight 12v power and can handle quite a load. How many RPM do you need?
