Sabertooth dual 60A motor driver
  
  
  Product Description
  
    The Sabertooth 2X60 is one of the most versatile, efficient and easy
    to use dual motor drivers on the market. It is suitable for
    high powered robots - up to 120lbs in combat or up to 1000lbs for
    general purpose robotics.
  
  
    Out of the box, the Sabertooth can supply two DC brushed motors
    with up to 60A each. Peak currents of 120A per channel are achievable
    for a few seconds.
  
  
    Overcurrent and thermal protection means you'll never have to worry
    about killing the driver with accidental stalls or by hooking up
    too big a motor.
  
  
    Sabertooth allows you to control two motors with:
    analog voltage, radio control, serial and packetized serial. You can
    build many different robots of increasing complexity for years to come
    with a Sabertooth. Sabertooth has independent and speed+direction
    operating modes, making it the ideal driver for differential drive
    (tank style) robots and more.
  
  
    The operating mode is set with the onboard DIP switches so there are no
    jumpers to lose. Sabertooth features screw terminal connectors - making
    it possible for you to build a robot without even soldering.
  
    Sabertooth is the first synchronous regenerative motor driver in its
    class. The regenerative topology means that your batteries get recharged
    whenever you command your robot to slow down or reverse. Sabertooth
    also allows you to make very fast stops and reverses - giving your robot a
    quick and nimble edge.

    Sabertooth has a built in 5V 1A Switch-mode BEC that can supply power for your 
    receiver or microcontroller, as well as 3-4 standard analog servos. The lithium
    cutoff mode allows Sabertooth to operate safely with lithium ion and
    lithium polymer battery packs - the highest energy density batteries available.
  
  
    Sabertooth's transistors are switched at ultrasonic speeds (24kHz) for
    silent operation.
  
  
    Sabertooth 2X60 uses 0.8 milliohm MOSFETs in its bridge.
  
  
    Use of our motor drivers with cheap AC adapters is not recommended.
    Use a battery or at least put a battery in parallel with a DC supply.
