Hi,
I am thinking of building a heavyweight and am thinking about motors. I know I could use wheelchair motors but would like more power and would like to build the gearbox. I have a few questions, could you use a shunt wound motor, and would you need a lower rated speed controller to control it? Also I think someone said they used forklift motors, am I right? What kind can you use (eg. From the pump or drive of the forklift)?
Apart from wheelchair motors and Bosch 400s or 750s, what other motors could I use?
