Hi @Helloimnew and welcome to our forum.

Which type of motors you will use? What is their nominal voltage and amperage?

Thank you.

I’m not sure yet but the instructions say use two cordless drills so I will use them I will look on the drills to find the specs if you want

Yeah, you must know the voltage, amperage and the power to choose properly the controller.

I am not sure what is the nominal and maximum amperage that motors from these drills will consume, but this controller should be able to take it: https://www.robotshop.com/en/sabertooth-dual-12a-regenerative-motor-driver.html

Yeah, it’s dual.

To be sure, try to find out (google it) what is the usual current consumption for the DC motors from your drills.
