thanks guys for the props.. as for the controller it is a Chinese made controller, but it's a 36 volt 2000watt controller. but i did notice today at pam's it was having a little trouble hauling the poop spreader. so tomorrow i will change the timing on the motor and that should take care of that.. i am glad to have my garage back for i started another project for the kids.. it is going to be an electric trike.. but not a small one it is about a half scale of a real street one.. i started that this past friday. got farther then i thought.. here are some pics. if you think it would be something you want me to post let me know..
