    I have read on xsimulator about using big Capacitors on the Monster Moto. I have 15,000uf 75V caps to put on the motors input to keep the H bridges from being destroyed from voltage feedback. Is this enough to keep them alive? 20210402_004059[1].jpg

    Worked on the rods for first simulator today. Still looking for miniature 60:1 gear boxes to mount the pots to rear of the motors. 20210409_211243[1].jpg 20210409_192439[1].jpg Motors are 60:1 ratio.

    Here is a test motor with a 30:1 ratio attached to rear of Bodine 60:1 ratio. A 3 turn 5K potentiometer will be attached with fabricated bracket. 20210419_183932[1].jpg
