  Motors typically draw considerable current, particularly when first started, so a heavy duty reducer is required. You can find a 12 amp 12 to 6 volt reducer on page 232 of the C&G catalog as item number B-10606, about $30. 800/266-0470

  Google it. There are many of them on the market. Speedway Motors has a couple of different reducers.
