And when I turn on the motor direct on the batery the charge is loaded.

The weight of the charge is 46.2970751 pounds.
The motor is 24V and 120A continuos.

How can I do this ?????

Thank a lot........
I believe the Thor Spin Controller is to be used for robot parts such as weapons like spinning saw blades, with little to no load on the motor.

Victor 883, Thor 883 Spin Controller were developed for Robot Weapons. The Spin Controller is a Victor 883 SC (90A) or Thor 883 SC (150A) speed controller reprogrammed to function as a single direction spinning-mass controller. Both the forward and reverse components are dedicated to a single direction.
I suggest switching to a Victor speed controller (such as the Victor 885 if you need 24V) if you're going to be using it to drive a wheel motor.
