HELP - LED controller to control large DC motor

[jimmyjames]

Hi Guys,

This is my first post and I am by no means an electrical specialist. I have a large 8kg DC motor (180W which draws 8A continuous) and I have made a 24V electric car for my daughter which I want to be able to control wirelessly. This may be a bit ambitious as I purchased an LED light controller which i hoped could control the speed (http://dx.com/p/360w-8-key-rgb-control-box-w-remote-controller-for-led-light-strip-dc-12v-24v-109081). It did work.........................for about 1 minute until I fried it.

Has anyone had any success using LED controllers for wirelessly controlling motors and would I have any more luck with this LED controller? http://dx.com/p/wireless-led-touching-rgb-controller-dc-12-24v-175075

Thanks,

You would have better luck with a proper wireless motor controller, and RC level remote control...

Something like this, no recommendation, just an example...

And then a good RC remote controller from say Futaba or Airtronics for example

Using a cheap wireless controller like that is just asking for trouble in all aspects...
