{"title":"Sabertooth Dual 25A DC Motor Driver","handle":"sabertooth-dual-25a-dc-motor-driver","url":"/products/sabertooth-dual-25a-dc-motor-driver","description":"The Sabertooth 2X25 is a versatile dual DC motor driver capable of supplying up to 25A continuous (50A peak) per channel. Suitable for high-powered robots up to 100lbs in combat or 300lbs for general-purpose robotics, it features synchronous regenerative drive that recharges batteries during braking and reversing.\n\nControllable via analogue voltage, R/C, simplified serial, or packetised serial, with independent and speed+direction operating modes set via on-board DIP switches. Screw terminal connectors mean no soldering is required. A built-in 5V BEC powers your microcontroller or R/C receiver, and lithium cutoff mode enables safe use with Li-ion and LiPo batteries.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nDual 25A Channels – 25A continuous, 50A peak per channel\n\nSynchronous Regenerative Drive – Recharges batteries during braking and reversing for fast stops\n\nMultiple Input Modes – Analogue, R/C, simplified serial, and packetised serial\n\nDIP Switch Configuration – No jumpers to lose; set operating mode on-board\n\nThermal & Overcurrent Protection – Safe operation even during stalls\n\nBuilt-in 5V BEC – Powers microcontrollers or R/C receivers directly\n\nLithium Battery Mode – Safe cutoff for Li-ion and LiPo packs\n\nUltrasonic Switching – 32kHz switching frequency for silent operation\n\nScrew Terminals – No soldering required\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nCurrent: 25A continuous, 50A peak per channel\n\nVoltage: 6–24V nominal, 30V absolute maximum\n\nSwitching Frequency: 32kHz (ultrasonic)\n\nInput Modes: Analogue, R/C, simplified serial, packetised serial\n\nDimensions: 65 × 80 × 20 mm\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nCombat and competition robotics\nDifferential drive (tank-style) robots\nHigh-powered general-purpose mobile robots\nR/C vehicles and autonomous platforms\n\n\n\nNote: Use of this motor driver with cheap AC adapters is not recommended. Use a battery, or at minimum place a battery in parallel with a DC supply.\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× Sabertooth Dual 25A DC Motor Driver\n\n\nResources\n\nDatasheet (PDF)\nQuick Start Guide (PDF)\nDIP Switch Wizard\nMotor Driver Efficiency Comparison\n","vendor":"DFRobot","product_type":"physical","in_stock":false,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":9351,"title":"Default Title","sku":"DF-DRI0004","price":263.75,"compare_at_price":0.0,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":false,"available_quantity":0,"option1":"Default Title"}],"documents":[{"title":"Supplier page — dfrobot.com","type":"supplier_description","type_label":"Supplier Description","url":"https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkD6iEBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--26027c38dcd8627ade8b6105c9ba5f6657d5f1a3/sabertooth-dual-25a-dc-motor-driver-dfrobot-com-2026-05-13.pdf","link":false,"file_extension":"PDF","file_size":651560,"description":"Snapshot of https://www.dfrobot.com/product-307.html (captured 13 May 2026)"},{"title":"DRI0004 dual 25a dc motor driver module dimension V1.0","type":"mechanical_drawings","type_label":"Mechanical Drawings","url":"https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDuz4DSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--4d8af785e05f2731d5a50fd543beda317c4a32c9/DRI0004_dual-25a-dc-motor-driver-module_dimension_V1.0.pdf","link":false,"file_extension":"PDF","file_size":243415}]}
