sorry yeti, that was directed @13579 from the last page but it must of posted later or something and for an answer to your question, try using only one spring and use the axle of the motor as the other contact in a sorta slip ring fashion. that way there shouldn't be so much force on the motor...

if your having trouble with led's and getting the correct voltage and whatever, i suggest you get a jay car catalogue and theres a whole page with the specs for each type of led and how to calculate the correct resistors for them. if you cant get one, heres the formula for finding the resistor...

I've had the same problem when i tried to do it as well. I started just trying to get a single axis spinning with led's but i couldn't extend the motor axle to attach it all to, when i used hot glue or whatnot to attach an extension it wasn't perfectly centre and just flew off after a few...
