Re: What Roboclaw for RS-540SH motor?
I would recommend a 2x30 or the 2x45(both peak 60a but you will get longer runtime with the 45 if you are constantly getting near stall). The roboclaw over current protection will handle the little above that.
However if you run the motor at higher than the rated voltage the stall current will go up. For example if you run it at 12v instead of 7.2v the stall current will be 116amps. Then I would recommend the 2x60a.
Also, make sure you wuse proper wire gauge for the current and keep the battery wires short(eg a foot or two).
