Someone who's more familiar with the Victors can tell you if and how well they handle smaller voltages.

It's less legwork, which may be a good or a bad thing for your project, but there is something to be said for keeping it simple. Hope this helps!
I wish I could use a victor, but my motors are 6-8V DC .
