@rplst8 posted:I've seen a few of these out there. I assume only the 12V ones are useful? Would the 24V ones be too weak-sauce with the voltages most electronics work at?
All motors/ engines have what’s called a power band, ….in the case of electric motors, it’s the combination of the sweet spot in voltage and RPM that makes smooth power, in our case of this hobby,…..although a lot of motors are rated 12/24, it’s where they make the best power that counts, ….I’d doubt you could rev up legacy, or DCS to match the consumption needs of a 24V motor,…I believe some Lionel’s used 24V motors, but the electronics are specifically designed to get the motor in that sweet spot…..clear as mud, right??….
