Well the electric motor company lead didn't pan out. They deal pretty much exclusively in ac industrial motors. So I'm back to the drawing board looking for a motor to start the project. I'm keeping my eye on ebay and cragislist but I guess I need to find some forklift service centers near home and talk with them.
I hear what many of you are saying in regards to lithium, but I think for this project its largely a what can be done with what I've got, and I don't have the cash for those batteries up front.
