Description
Dual Motor Controller: 5A, 6-18V
R/C control with servo leads
Synchronous regenerative drive
Ultra-sonic switching frequency
Thermal and over-current protection
Lithium battery protection mode
The Sabertooth Dual 5A R/C 6-18V Regenerative Motor Driver (R/C) specifically optimized for use in radio controlled vehicles. It is suitable for small robots, cars and boats, and especially well suited for the Antweight and Beetleweight classes of fighting robots.
Out of the box, it can supply two DC brushed motors with up to 5A each. Peak currents of 10A 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.
Features
Includes exponential control, autocalibration and built-in mixing.
The operating mode is set with the onboard DIP switches.
Synchronous regenerative motor driver
Thermal and overcurrent protection
Built in 5V BEC can provide power to a microcontroller or R/C receiver.
Lithium cutoff mode allows safe operation with lithium ion / polymer packs
I’ve used these ESC’s in several 3 pound combat robot fights and, sadly, they overheat or just randomly turn on/off after little to no damage. My circuits and voltage were within manufacturer thresholds yet it just wasn’t reliable. I then spoke to several bot veterans about it and they all had similar issues with this ESC and told me to avoid this product. I wish it wasn’t true, but this ESC is just for very, very simple projects.

Amazing product.
Bought to be put into one of Lesu Skid Steer. I love how it was simple/ small to install. Fits perfectly inside. Works perfectly as well. Enough to power the dual-motor with no issues. Overall would buy again if needed.

not best
Not the Best Controller. Battery eliminator circuit has poor performance. If you plan to implement 1 or 2 servos to your receiver, good luck . I should have tried the 1amp bec version of this controller. It would be nice if they provided more info regarding the specs of the bec

Good product. Easy to hook up and does what it is supposed to do. A little pricey but worth it.

All good
I installed one of the two I ordered into a Bruder D-4 tractor. I adjusted the end points and it works well. The other one I installed into a Tonka tractor and it also works well. I am very confident it will work for a long time.
