    Good luck with the experimentation and I look forward to hearing about the results, thus far I don't think anyone has tries the RoboClaw drivers.

    I have been experimenting with a few drivers
    Looks neat but a little pricy

    I have been experimenting with a few drivers

    The vnhd7012ay seems to work ok, but i am nit sure it is suitable for 24v

    I have just ordered a twin channel 100a version, i will post my findings when it arrives

    I figured 100 amps is way more than i need so the driver will never be stressed

    Hi guys,

    I just registered on these forums to check about the integration of any roboclaw drivers. I'm personally interested in the 2x30A drivers.
    I want to use sabertooth 2x32A drivers but they are out of stock everywhere and that could last for a long time so that's why I'm looking at the roboclaws as an alternative.
    I've seen some people posting here that they actually bought a roboclaw driver to experiment with but have found 0 remarks about progress, current status or well..anything. So please, share any info if you have any.

    Cheers
