    yes that is better noorbeast. Thanks!!

    Everything is still good for what it is.

    I'm curious what thoughts are on the power especially under braking. Would it be just a situation of having maximized the motor/mechanical capabilities or would a larger power supply provide more oomph out of the setup.

    Currently it is just a laptop power supply (1.8amps) Nothing is getting hot or even warm at all. I have no idea what the motor specs are so i didn't want to over power it.

    Put the HP Server Power supply on it to test (Purchased for my 2dof build waiting on pgsaw motors).

    For sure was not an issue with mechanical design or motor limits. it is kicking now even under braking and has no problem pushing my body forward.

    I was trying to do this one only with left overs but i may have to spring for another server power supply.
