It sure works well on rotation and looks to have a good speed on the tracks

Thanks, Yes you are correct the black wires are for the batteries. There are 4 AAA 650mah NiMH batteries powering the drive, 2 on each side of the track body.

Thanks Neil, haven't worked on a new boom yet. It will probably be a while until I get to it. Once the weather turns nice I don't spend much time working in the basement.
