taterking:
I did open one up and there is in fact a small rotary motor that slips out with a small gear on the shaft. now im contemplating on how i could get the gear off this little motor and onto a slightly bigger motor?
Sorry, but now you are talking engineering and I will suggest to you that it isn't worth your time - or anyone else's for that matter.
Can't offhand suggest a suitable device, but clearly these are not the one.
