    From your experience, Sabertooth 2x32 requires cooling with fan?
    I'm using motors 12V, rated 15/17A on load, 50:1.
    Thank you

    It will depend on your rigs balance and such. I mounted my sabertooth to a metal plate and have a fan blowing over it and between the motors. The fan has helped a lot. Used to get only 1 set of practice qualify race before it was getting hot. adding 1 120mm fan has eliminated all heat buildup and i can go as long as i want now.
