pretty sure I know what it is

After chewing on it a while I have decided that a bearing is bad in the hub motor. It might have been the cause of the controller going bad but either way that's the problem now. For the time being, I'm going to ignore it.

I spend the day putting a second pusher together but I don't like it much. My welding is now on a par with my creative mind. That being the case I am going to work on a friction drive to replace the last pusher. One of those is more than enough. Not sure exactly what the design will be yet, but I have a few options. First of all I have a friction drive motor already set up. It is way small but I think I will give it a test to make a bench mark.
