Bon produit. Facile à brancher et fait ce qu'il est censé faire. Un peu cher mais ça vaut le coup.

Amazing product.

Bought to be put into one of Lesu Skid Steer. I love how it was simple/ small to install. Fits perfectly inside. Works perfectly as well. Enough to power the dual-motor with no issues. Overall would buy again if needed.

Produit étonnant.

Acheté pour être mis dans l'un des Lesu Skid Steer. J'adore la façon dont il était simple / petit à installer. S'intègre parfaitement à l'intérieur. Fonctionne parfaitement aussi. Assez pour alimenter le double moteur sans problème. Dans l'ensemble, j'achèterais à nouveau si nécessaire.

It's an OK system

I used this with a Tamiya dual motor gearbox. While this did provide the power to the small motors that are in that kit, it was prone to brown-outs. In addition to the brownouts, The unit frequently overheated, & the thermal protection would activate. That's a GOOD thing it has, BUT......with those small motors, it's also a BAD thing. They're so tiny, they shouldn't overheat the controller. Perhaps I can re-purpose the 2X5 to power the linear actuators on the Bruder D5 conversion to a working RC that I'm building, rather then as the power for the drive motors in the gearbox. HOPEFULLY by using this unit in an application that's not under constant load, I can make use of it.

Small and simple to wire

It works well, gets very hot though. A lil tricky to figure out the dip switches.
