    Hi all, this is my first post finally, however I have been reading these forums for a while an I want to say this is an excellent website and source of information.

    My name is Bart and I intend to make my own 2DOF driving sim, the style I favour the most is here http://www.x-simulator.de/forum/simu-with-reduce-for-2-scn5-simxperience-t2774.html.

    I have bought a Wheelchair with 2 x motors, 2 x 12v batteries and its controller. I also have a K8055 card.

    The motors are branded Fracmo and rated at 24V, 7.5A and 113 RPM however the ref no on the motors 451-03-213 G30B-30A not sure if its relevent but the end digits may indicate a 30A peak current if anyone can correct me on this it may be useful in selecting a motor controller.

    So anyway here is my question for my simulator, I am considering ordering a Sabertooth 2x25 would this be a wise choice for my choice of motors, or could I find a better motor controller? And does anyone have any criticism of the sabertooth?

    Thanks in advance Bart
