The Sabertooth 2X25 is a versatile dual DC motor driver capable of supplying up to 25A continuous (50A peak) per channel. Suitable for high-powered robots up to 100lbs in combat or 300lbs for general-purpose robotics, it features synchronous regenerative drive that recharges batteries during braking and reversing.

Controllable via analogue voltage, R/C, simplified serial, or packetised serial, with independent and speed+direction operating modes set via on-board DIP switches. Screw terminal connectors mean no soldering is required. A built-in 5V BEC powers your microcontroller or R/C receiver, and lithium cutoff mode enables safe use with Li-ion and LiPo batteries.

Key Features
