Audioguru thanks for the help with the motor.
Mik3 thanks for everything else, you've been really helpful, and your links were great.
It looks like all I need is a zener with a set reverse bias voltage drop of 3V off my power supply in parallel with my motor. So do I need something else like a resistor in the circuit to drop the remaining voltage across?
And for anyone who might need more info the batteries are rechargeable Ni-MH
