    Hello, I have been following along for a while and I am going to start my first build. I have been collecting parts and I think I am close to having everything.

    So far I have the following:

    • 2 Jazzy Electric motors (120rpm at 24)
    • 2 480 watt power converters
    • ARDUINO R3 with ElectroCookie
    • 2 JiLegogo bts7960 Motor drivers
    • flanged u-joint
    I still need to pick up the Hall Effect Potentiometers and tie rods ends but am I missing anything else.
    Where do I find the keyway arm to connect to the motor? Is that a DIY or is there somewhere I can find it with the keyway already cut into it? If it is a DIY what length would I want for this motor to ensure the appropriate torque?

    Does mounting the motor at the front or back of the rig make a big difference?

    Thanks.
