I'm currently working on a large marble run project and have combined two auger lifts to increase its height. However, I'm facing an issue with the current motor struggling to handle the weight, especially when marbles are added.

I believe upgrading the motor and gears to more robust options could solve the problem, but I'm having difficulty finding suitable replacements.

Here are my goals for the new motor:

  1. It must handle the weight of the marbles, even when the auger is fully loaded.
  2. It needs to be long-lasting, as it will be mounted inside a wall, making repairs challenging.
  3. Ideally, it should be compatible with my existing parts, which are functioning well apart from the motor.
Should I consider finding someone to build a custom solution for this, or is there a plug-and-play option available that could meet these requirements?

I've attached some photos of the parts I'm referring to. Here is the auger I'm using: link.

Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
