Getting excited about this project.
I am going to order brushes for the motor later today.
I would like to get a controller and throttle control soon as well.
Once I have those items, I can put in the motor, and start spinning the wheels on the Metro. Then I can really begin to experiment with it!
Right now, I am planning on using a Curtis 72V controller. Not sure what to use for a potentiometer.
Looks like a PB-6 is about $73 (has microswitch) and a PB-5 is $66. Those prices don't sound bad for having a solid piece of equipment designed specifically for what it does.

Darin, what are you using in the Forkenswift?
