Re: homemade speed controlllers (for school project)

Stephen,
I am not sure how your cars are laid out but in the US, the motor drives both wipers and is relatively powerful. I would guess it may run stall current as high as the Chalupa or Drill motor, about 100 amps. Your homemade controllers should be designed to handle that much current.
