What a beautiful setup for a slip ring. Just put a generous coating of dielectric grease on the copper rings to stop pitting and it will last forever!! And it looks to me like that Alberta loonie is shrinking smaller with every picture, go Justin!!!!!

I was going to suggest the same thing as Rob... the slip ring in my JD850 is somewhat similar to yours Kornel with brass contacts, before adding the dielectric grease the friction created a black soot on the contacts creating a loss of electric connection... not a moments trouble since 4yrs ago.

That is a very helpful suggestion guys!! Thanks!!! Difinetly going to do that when I get it wired up for the first test, still need to order the gear/box motors and finish a number of things yet before it's ready for a test run....Thanks again!!
