    What is the actual design of the rig you intend building?

    A Sabertooth will drive 2 motors no problem, but there are better motor options available from Motion Dynamics than those you linked.

    Thank you noorbeast, your input is aways welcome!
    You mentioned better motors options:
    Is this because of motor power, motor torque, power supply rating, dollar investment or something else?

    Please give me some hints:confused:

    Jerry.
