Thinking of trying this myself with a micro Rx and ESC in the 20 amp range. Been collecting the CD players, so I might as well order the Rx and ESC from the RC hobby shops and see what happens.
For running step motor(like in CD-Rom ) you need to connect right signals. Now for it uses a microcontroller units like Atmel AT90 or PIC84F some of them. All this schematics ad programs for it you can find in Internet, key phrases in google "STEP MOTOR & PIC microcontroller"
It's a brushless motor so you can't just connect it up to a battery, youve got to get a 3-phase/brushless speed controller. Probably something in the 10-20 AMP range.

Nice name U picked for yourself, saddork. It fits to a T! I would be willing to bet that U will not make it into MIT. Happy Holidays!

I has nowhere near enough torque though. It can spin up a CD so fast only cause the CD is very aerodynamic and light.
