The Cytron SmartDriveDuo-60 MDDS60 60A supports dual channels, 60A continuous current for each channel. Building a combat/sumo robot become easy, choose motor+wheel, get high power battery, thick wire, connect it to MDDS60, choose an RC controller and you have a robot !! Do check the User’s Manual for details. Quick Start Guide is here.
With knowledge and feedback we gathered from MD10C, MDD10A, MD30C, MDS40A, MDDS10, and MDS160A, Cytron has thrilled to launch this smart motor driver and can’t wait to see what you can do with it.

Features:
- It is DC Brush motor Driver, not for brushless motor
- Single power operation just connects power to battery input.
- Dual Channels, it can drive two brush motor independently, or mixed.
- Operating modes: RC (RC servo signal), Analog, PWM, simplified and packetized UART.
- Support Signed magnitude and Locked Anti-phase in PWM mode.
- Top cover comes with two DC brushless fans to cool the driver.
- Two manual/test buttons for each channel.
- Two output indicator LEDs for each channel.
- Power, Error indicator, RUN status (Left and Right) LEDs
- On board reset button to restart the MCU after changing operation mode.
- Temperature feedback for current limit and prevent overheating of MOSFET.
- Support up to 60A continuous current at room temperature.
- Support up to 100A peak for 1 second. Current will be limited as temperature rises.
- Suitable for combat or sumo robot.
- 16KHz switching frequency for quiet operation.
- Onboard switching voltage regulator for higher power efficiency.
- Battery low voltage monitoring mode.
- We have tried this driver with single power window motor at 24V, full load without smoke coming out
