    Well after getting input and realizing my shortcomings I decided on a mechanical means to limit my voltage output on the power pack/ throttle. So after the voltage meter was installed and the throttle set to a max of 4.5 volts I designed a simple no frills throttle stop out of styrene tube and rod.


    Here is the throttle stop in place. A simple slide down with a lock notch to keep it from moving. Now anytime the 4.5 volt max critters are running the lock notched stop keeps the throttle from being advanced.
