The RailBoss 4 battery power R/C product line has been expanded to add 10 amp motor drivers. Both the RailBoss 4 Basic and the RailBoss 4 Plus (shown above) controls are now available with either 5 amp or 10 amp motor drivers.
The main application for the 10 amp motor driver will be for running diesel consists from a single control board; i.e. AB or ABA diesel sets. One RailBoss 4 board in the A unit, with the motor output wired to the rest of the units.
Our Standard 5 amp motor driver is more than enough for most locomotives. Typical motor current draw is about 1 amp or less. You really only need to extra amps for long trains or stalled motors. Even those locos with multiple motors will be fine with the 5 amps version.
