Well, the mod needs more testing. The 12V experiment (and hence any subsequent mods that use this type of battery) portion was a failure. These 23A batteries can't provide enough current to even get the motor to turn a single revolution. Even with a big capacitor to store the energy, the motor will only turn over a couple of times then stop.

Hooking up the regulator was simple. All I did was run power from the batteries to the input and ground on the regulator. Those same connections also go to the power and ground connections on the FET board. Next, I run a pair of wires from the output of the regulator and ground to the main board. The steering servo worked fine. The way it was hooked up. I was wondering if maybe the transistors were not turning on fully, thus not allowing the motor full power, but I confirmed on the scope that I was indeed getting full power, and even when I connected the battery directly to the motor, the performance was still just as poor.
