Any details on model #'s ? I looked through the Grainger catalog and didn't find anything that seemed like it would fit the bill (a while back) and to the best of my recollection they carry pretty much all the Dayton motors. Where did you get the speed control? Is it a servo motor or a treadmill motor? Sorry for all the questions but I'm very interested in putting a bit more HP on my X3 and getting a higher top speed, without loosing too much of the bottom end. (Eliminating the gear train is also VERY attractive)
Thanks for any info you can share.
