Hey guys, this thread seems to have gone dead for awhile. Has anyone put some work into their controllers? I have a few ideas fluttering around in the ol' brainbox, but mine are a bit old fashioned - Keep in mind I'm no EE, I just have some basic electrical/electronics knowledge to get me by...

What about a mechanical motor controller - a sort of cylinder (similar to the commutator inside the motor) that is geared to the motor driveshaft and spins, while a throttle cable adjusts an armature that sweeps across a varied-width contact... Hm, I'm not so good at explaining these things, but once I get home I'll sketch something up. Sound feasible?
