Re: Speed Controller Preference

Victors for us. The Jaguars took up way too much space, and we didn't need the control for our dumper. Didn't need the hooks because we staple the wires down. The max current is 60 but our max breaker is 40. The limiter for keeping the motors from burning out isn't needed because we limit the arm with programming. It is also a bit heavier than victors, which can add up.
