2 scorpion xxls?
why?
it's 4 wheel drive
dont they have 25a cont though?
with 45a peak
am i right in thinking one would be enough?
well then I will have a spare if something happens to the first one
Edit: they only have one input so I would be controling 4 motors with 1 channel
:|
They are definitely not 1 input, first line of the description reads:
The Robot Power Scorpion XXL is a flexible high-performance two-channel motor controller
So you want 2 motors per channel Left in one and Right in the other.
Thats what I mean only 2 motors per channel
i'm pretty confident it saying youll be able to run 4 drills on an xxl, they have current limits on them i believe so should cut before you damage it
everyone saying I can run 4 motors of 1 scorpion put a tought in my head, could I run 2 motors off an electonize 30a? It would cost less.
yeah, i run 4wd with electronize 30 and its fine
Yes, but you'd need 2 since the Electronizes are not dual motor controllers.
I understand that I would need 2 but 2 electronize 30a costs less than 1 scorpion xxl
hence why i use em :)
the xxl is better though
an xxl is much better than 2 electronize however the elctronize can be good for your first bot
most things sorted, just waiting for parts to arrive and it will be finished :D
electronize 30a arrived today, all bulkheads marked and will be cut when I have time :D
