Fredrik.. After looking at this a second time.. I just realized that you've 
either set this rig up to crank some serious high power tunes.. OR you're 
using a freak'n audio power amp as a PWM motor controller!  If the latter.. 
that's freak'n ingenious!  And one of the more quick-n-dirty-elegant ways 
I've seen anyone do a high power robotic motor controller.. What a cool idea!

Is there even a microcontroller involved at all with this project?  Or is it 
just a receiver and PWM out to amp-in?  Is it running from a power inverter.. 
or are you just using lower voltage (12V) class B amp voltages?

Did you come up with the idea on your own? Or have you seen other people using 
a audio power amp as a PWM motor controller?

Maybe I'll bring my O-Scope so that you can show what PWM actually looks like 
and how it works.

Tre cool man!
