My motor is from a B&D 12v cordless drill. Goodwill. 2 bucks.

I extended the shaft with a length of brass tubing, staked it, then added a piece of plastic tubing to help grip the belt.

Google your motor part number. My 12v motor is rated for 24v. I run it at 18v with PWM speed control. More power. Higher rpm. Yessss.

Mount the drive belt without stretching, but with solid contact.
