2nd pic. I would also consider 24v batteries, but of course everything I have is already 20v DeWalt.

Man I got super lucky. Slip on gear drives with set screws through the shaft. These are going to be super easy to work with as long as they're not some weird low RPM.

If they're just run of the mill brushed motors, you can run them on a slightly lower voltage with a larger than you might expect drop in power. The voltage is lower, so they won't pull as much current-- and both work against you. You're losing over 30% of their output.

Got it. 24v it is. It's better to use different batteries than what I use for work anyways.

Do you know of any basic idiot friendly speed controllers? They're all over eBay for cheap, but I'm not sure if there's a go to place for stuff like this, because we all know about eBay quality.

Where did you learn about electricity anon.... they will pull more current because you're running them on 20V

Those motors came out of the assisted lifter on electric wheechairs. That is to say those motors helped geriatric patients stand up from their mobility scooters.

Enjoy your less than thrilling go-cart.

Also make note that the duty cycle on those motors is for intermittent use, i.e. not a continuous duty motor
