Today I plan to work on mounting the control board and the other controls. I removed all the old belt change stuff, and let me tell you, its about 75# worth of mechanism that you no longer need. Attached are some pictures of the progress so far. Once the motors arrive I will post the mounting and how it all works.
Your using the same control I'm using on mine I see. Recommend adding some kind of air flow(fan) to cool the controller. (I used 2 35mm 12volt dc fans) Gets hot on long run time. Also if your using the same motor as I did. Recommend adding some kind of fan to that. I'm using a 120mm 120cfm 110ac fan. These motors weren't designed to run for long periods with out some time of cooling.
