    Please post the place where you bought them so the rest of us can avoid them.

    @noorbeast maybe we can start a black list for MM sellers, looks like the MM issues continues.

    There are lots of liability related reasons not to have a black list on a public site, but we do have recommended suppliers list in the FAQs.

    I tested, about 6 MMs has output issue, some MMs A1 CAN'T reach 12 V(about 10-11V ), some A2, some B1 or B2. Is it matter?
    And which wire do you use? I use 12 AMG. Too thick to wired.

    Deffinatley not too thick wire, remember we can be pumping up to 120amps through these things at peak . All it is is very poor cloned VNH2SP30 chips from china

    My motor is 300w, so I consider 15A for each VNH2SP30

    I’m using 12v 600watt motors which at stall pull 135 amps. Using that for comparison, a 24v 300watt motor could pull up to 33amps when stalled.

    Mine is 12V also. I use 2 chips for each motor to avoid heat issue and for redundancy.

    Oh yeah, I forgot VNH2SP30 are 16v max.
