Also, are you sure there isn't a gearbox attached that is gearing it down to 183 RPMS?
I use the Dimension Engineering Sabertooth 2X25 for them. There are other drives out there, but the Dimension Engineering drives are well-engineered.
They're not going to draw > 25A each
hmm ok so if i get the dimension engineering drivers, i would connect the drivers to the motor and the mcu, and the joystick directly to the mcu? or would i also connect the joystick to the motor drivers?

I really enjoyed interfacing playstation 2 gamepad to microcontroller(and it is really easy. took me less than hour to write ARM code and processing sketch). And you'll still have lots of additional control elements for anything you'll ever want to attach to your chair.. like rocket launchers or anything )
