Product Description
Sabertooth 2X10 R/C is our dual motor driver specifically
optimized for use in radio controlled vehicles. It is suitable for medium
powered robots, cars and boats.
Out of the box, it can supply two DC brushed motors with up
to 10A each. Peak currents of 15A 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.
This special R/C edition of our motor driver comes with an
invert channel and options for exponential control, autocalibration and built-in
mixing. The operating mode is set with the onboard DIP switches so there are no
jumpers to lose.
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 vehicle a quick and nimble edge.
Sabertooth has a built in 5V BEC that can provide power to a microcontroller or
R/C receiver. 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 (32kHz) for silent
operation.
