    Yes, but slower and they take more current than with 24V.

    I have six of these motors and was considering using them for a 2DOF setup - I have six but will use two. May I ask how you got feedback from them? Potentiometer somewhere? Also, how much weight were they able to move? I'm trying to move around 750 lbs. (2 people and a car frame). Thank you!

    Hi, I'm using IBT-2 with changed H-bridges to BTN8982 with cooling mod. I have 300W/each wheelchair motors and it is reliable solution. Here's my mod for IBT-2: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...r-ibt-2-with-btn8982-hbridges-included.17957/
