Thread resurrect!

One of my motors is slightly faster than the other, resulting in a pretty ghey 'winking' stoned sleepy eye look. Aside from purchasing two brand new motors, is there anyway I can get around this?

Also, to add onto discussion... they use two DPST (double pole single throw) switches in the video, which I did as well. Couldn't you just use one DPDT (or SPDT) switch instead? I assumed they were using two to control each side (zooms in on the video), one switch per side. When I checked the relay, I realized this was physically impossible.

Anyway, using both DPST switches at the same time (simulating a DPDT) worked fine... Using a DPDT would remove one switch, giving a cleaner install.

So yeah, word. 1x DPDT vs. 2x DPST. And... headlight speed. Those are my two questions.

Peace Zilvia
