Unfortunately the motors seem to be pulsing when the joystick is pushed to full. To isolate electrical problems we've pulled all the circuit breakers but 1 at a time and it occurs for each motor. To isolate programming issues we deployed a generic arcade drive program with no modifications and it still pulses. Any suggestions on where we could look next?

Thanks
I am more of a mechanical guy, but this sounds like a PWM problem. I will ask my programming friend what he thinks.
