Good day folks! Anyone have recommendations for an alternative to the BV-4113 Motor Controller? Looks like my Dogbot (dog baby sitter bot) requires more power than the BV-4113 can deliver. Oddly enough the Tank's motors in its original form only pulled 1Amp, but when connected to the BV-4113 they now pull 2 Amps, which causes the motor controller to shutdown to prevent overloading. If I connect the motors directly to the 7.2 Vdc battery, they run smoothly and as fast as before.
Thanks for you recommendations! AND DJ, thanks for creating a very cool product !

Have a look at this thread from a little while ago.
You can hook up brushed motors in combination with RC controllers to the EZ-B. Works perfectly but depending on load and power consumption the controllers produce some heat. So a heat sink might be a good idea. The Graupner controllers are well suited for a heatsink because they have a metal body with good mounting possibilities.
