[QUOTE="Gold miner, post: 6825, member: 262"] Hi m8, Nah the throttle control was stuffed. What it does (or used to do!) is use a DC-DC converter and a 12volt battery, to drive a 24v motor. I think the throttle control might have been just on and off? Even though it was a twist grip like on a motor bike, when I pulled it apart it was simply a hall-effect sensor, so I dont think it had a speed control? I actually had a DC motor speed controller here, so have added that in the circuit and can choose the speed of the barrel. I have contradicted myself with the way the rolers run because I remember recommending to someone else that it should have that 'limit' roller. However, these paint tins are awesome if you buy the right roller, they have the solid end lip, and then the shaped 'ridge' in the tin. I'm really happy with it, it seems to just trundle away really well!!! [/QUOTE]
