AmpFlow Motor Speed Controller

Motor speed controllers get connected to your battery and your motors. Your radio control receiver also plugs into the motor controller. Your RC transmitter sends signals to your receiver, which in turn, sends the inputs to the controller. The controller is then able to control the speed and direction of the motors.

We offer two different speed controllers as optional equipment on our kits. The full-size AmpFlow 160A controller is designed for use in middle and heavy weight kits. We can also install the AmpFlow 160A in our light weight kit if you anticipate heavy current draw, (by using the A28 or F30 motors). We also offer a smaller 80A controller for use in the light weight kits with the E-150 motors.

The set-ups for both controllers are simple plug-and-play. You can fine tune some of the parameters, but in most cases you won't need to. Our controllers operate two channels independently of each other so you only need one controller to drive and steer both the left and the right wheels.

AmpFlow Dual Motor Speed Controllers
80 Amps and 160 Amps - 6 to 36 Volts

The AmpFlow dual-motor controllers operate at 6 to 36 Volts and can handle 80 or 160 Amps per channel. They feature adjustable braking, acceleration, and current limiting.

A BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuit) provides a 5V power output for use with radio receivers or other devices.

Two mixing options are available. Each joystick can operate one channel independently, or a single joystick can operate both channels for tank-like steering.

Over-current and over-heat control logic prevents meltdowns and provides the maximum current even under stalled conditions. The maximum current limit is adjustable.

This 80A Mini controller measures 6.2L x 3.8W x 2.2H, and weighs 1.5 pounds.
The 160A controller measures 8.80" L x 4.80" W x 2.40" H, (3.40" high including fan), 2.5 lb.

Note: The new version of these controllers have heavy-duty connectors on the circuit board rather than the wires shown in the above picture.

Additional features:
Three 5-pin finger latching encoder inputs for full servo control
Additional third channel for low-current switching of auxiliary device
User selectable servo feedback: Encoder or Analog voltage
Full RS232 serial command and setup
Multiple-operating modes: Normal PWM, Torque, Velocity, Servo-Position
Manual control inputs (Step/Dir) for each channel (Left, Right, Aux)
Robust signal processing for smooth, reliable fail-safe operation
Indicator LED's show direction, power, over-temperature, and board status

Select the 80A Mini controller for use with the E-150 motors in the Light weight kit. All other AmpFlow motors will require the use of the 160A controller.
