    Ok I tried the weak bridge just to test to see if I had wiring and software properly setup, and it worked real well in sims engine testing real well, it has a small biz sound when centered, but nothing major. You were right it was too weak and I blew one motor side of it real fast. Still have the other side for testing and it worked well. I need to get a few stronger bridge like the one you suggested and I should be good to go, thank you again or your help,

    Ok I got the 24v motor board controller, and sim runs very well. It is a little slow from time to time. So I am looking for driver board that can handle 48v, anyone has an idea of board that works with arduino and can control 48v motor, thanx
