Hi everyone, having a bit of an issue with my new FW robot. I built it to be 4wd, each wheel with it's own motor. I rigged up a speed controller to each side - 1 speed controller running two motors. All sounds promising until I ran the bot... then pop and smoke from a motor. So reduced voltage to see if there was too much voltage (6s down to 4s). Speed controllers supposed to be rated up to 6s... Guess what when run again, same on other side and could only run forward not backwards. These controllers are Chinese cheapo's but should have been capable of running the motors, I believe. The motors by the way are 12 to 24v 30w 3000 to 6000 rpm brushed.
I know there are going to be many questions, but asking if anyone else has had similar problems and how they overcome them also what do people use for there 4wd brushed motors?
Thanks for reading.
