Hi @DesiBoy99 ,

If this is a brushed DC motor (it looks like it easy) and you have two of these, then yes, you need to use Dual DC Driver.

Maybe you can consider using this one: Dual DC Driver for RC in Mixed Mode, ESC DC, Motor Controller, Speed Control, 8-40V, 20A - RobotShop

This one can support 20A of continuous current per channel.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for advice. As I mentioned my motors are 24v and 14.5 amp. So what you say for this :point_down:t6:

Hi @DesiBoy99 ,

This driver can withstand 12A of continuous current per channel. Your motor can draw 14.5A. If your motor will work for a long time at this nominal current, then this would damage the driver after some time.

Thank you.

Can you advise for this controller?

Yes, it should work.

Can it be used with joystick and RC as well?

Seems like no. You can control it via PWM signal sent from microcontroller (for example, Arduino). You can connect joystik and RC to this microcontroller.

You can try with below, it support all most of communication (Joystick and Rc) : Dual Channel DC Driver for RC, ESC DC, Motor Controller, Speed Control, 8-45V, 35A/Channel - RobotShop
