Welcome, we are all about this kind of hacking, thanks for the pics.
Look forward to seeing more of your works.

I love powerchair motors.
Plenty of torque, and you can make anything from them.
I carved out many a robot from power chair motors.

Fortress scooter motors were always my favorite....



Do you do any hacking on the controllers or just use them as is with the joystick?
Removing the mag brake and inserting a resistor is always a must do on those motors for sure.
