RE: speed controllers
My truck is totally hydraulically controlled - no electrical motors. I have a small desiel engine turning a hydrostatic pump which drives two hydrostatic drive motors along with two hydraulic cylinders that drive the tie rods. I need to control the solenoids that I use to pull and push on the spool which allows hydraulic flow to push another spool that opens and closes the hyd circuit that moves the steering cylinders. A speed controller works well because the two solenoids that move the steering circuits L and R need about 2 amps each to open and close. With the delay however steering doesn't work so well. However, it looks like the Novak Crawler ESC's can go from forward to reverse without delay. I ordered one to give it a try - anybody know if they wouldn't work?
