Question voltage clamp resistor connection for 3rd motor addition for SPS - Sabertooth Packet Serial

Hi my fellow geeks

first, my birthday is tomorrow and I wanted to make myself a gift in adding tloss to my 2dof MoSiRig.

Today I read the great BlasinH's SPS Thread again and recognized that I do have two voltage clamp resistors for my first two motors ... I thought I might somehow lead the cables of the 3rd motor that I could use only those two resistors. But the thread says I'd need one for each powerline

Would you please tell me tonite if I can set it up with what I have ... somehow ... without burning my sabertooths? Btw I want to use my two sabertooths 2x32A (or is it saberteeth ) maybe that info is important to you?
For further info you might have a look at my "MoSiRig" (this expression is only funny for peopele who know younger Munich/Bavarian/German society history ) here

You are my heroes anyway ---- and maybe you know a fix for me, so I can start my 3rd Motor tonite and ride into my birthday with a GREAT smile on my face!

Thanx for your help and

Yours, ART FLY

The sabertooth's warrantee is pretty rock solid and covers almost everything except connecting the polarity to its power inputs backwards. The resistors are mostly used to keep a power supply from tripping when not used with a battery in parrell as well as for heat dispersion. So it should be okay to give it a go without a resistor to see if it actually needs one or not.

Hahaha, thanx for the celebration - U are FIRST to congratulate. Awesome
I am trying to figure out the specs of my resistors.
Then if they might be strong enough ... how should I do he cableing?

I sould have listened to my Maths and Physiks tachers back then about 35 to 4o years ago much better

Thank you so much for the fast hint U sent me. I hope I'll figure it out ... very unsure ... bah, so time will come ... you encouriged me so much in the building of my 2do so far !!!
Really - such a big THANX so far for the time you gifted me and I suppose to xxx many more likes like me. You are awesome !!!

It is so late at nite at my place that I think it is better not to stress and push anymore forward on the solution right now. Better do it calm the next days than to burn anything and be away a long time before I can afford new spareparts.

Cheers with Bourbon Mate,
I'll give back with more dumb questions the next days maybe.
Luv, Yours ART FLY, Peace !!!

What a great honor to trceive URE answer!

I use two 12 V 500 W power supplies in parallel I gues.
At my place it is already past midnite - my B-day and I already had some Bourbon ...

I will check tomorrow or maybe Sat what hardware I have ... ohms on the resistors, Voltage and such. Thanx if you would stand by once I posted that
I am so green in Maths & Physics you would not believe I made it to a very well working 2dof . I can tell U the electronics work only because of Ure thread and Noorbeasts support.

Keep up your great work for the community. THANK YOU!

Hi mates, please have a look at the following Pictures. They show my motor specs, the hopefully correct calculation and a product I found.
Is that the right way and the right stuff?
I am looking forward to your answer.
Later, Yours ARTi

One 1 ohm resistor may work but accoring to the calculator result you would need two of them wired in series to get 2 ohms.

Do you say if i buy a 2ohms resistor with more than 160watts i'd be in the save side?

I went for this product now.

Thanx for your help @BlazinH & @noorbeast .

If I bought something completely wrong please warn me.
The shipping will take toThurseday.
