Hi,
I have had some success using a motor controller that uses a pot input but 
using 2 pots wired together with one on the motor and one attached to a servo 
so as the one is turned by the servo one way the motor turns the second the 
other way and brings the total resistance back to what the controller thinks is 
the centre 

On my work break at the moment but I will be able to draw up a diagram when I 
get home to help clarify

Subject: [TANKS] home made wiper motor servo circuits????
To: "R/C Tank Combat" <[email protected]>

I have a need for using available and cheap wiper motors as servo
motors. is there a basic circuit for controlling the start/stop
position using a rotary or linear encoder circuit or using a pot like
small servos?

I also have some large powerfull 24v dc wheelchair motors that I would
like to maby use if possible.

Can anyone point me to a scematic or descrive to me how the basic
encoder/servo circuit would work.
I would rather build the circuit without any chips or microprocessors
if possible.
I also have lots or rc servos that I can strip for parts if needed.
but I think that a encoder circuit might work better. and I have
several encoders striped from old vcr's and printers...
