You won't find anything similar cheaper. Couple it along with a battleswitch etc and you'll have you're weapon control system that should happily handle your motor when stalled.
Cheers this sounds like a good idea but any chance of a wiring diagram or bit more explanation as im slightly confused. Also am i right in thinking with this setup the axe wouldnt soft return and also that there would be no off position for the axe it would alway be switched on in one direction?
