Can you give some explanation for the electricly dysfunctional members , like me ?? I have questions :-
1 /does the metal mount double up as part of the circuit and as a heat sink ? 2 /what wattage are those beasts ? 3 /just looking at them I imagine you will be fine at 12v ,why do you think you`ll require 18v ? You have a lot of work to build a gearbox to get a final output to 400ish rpm but I think your the man to do it. I like the look of your progress .
