Hello all, new Guy here. Iam working on converting a 12” gauge miniature locomotive with two 48v, series wound, 7” Clark forklift traction motors (with Curtis 1209b controllers). One motor/controller on each bogie (2 drive axles and frame). E.G. each motor will separately drive its own set of axles and wheels with chain/gear reduction.
Looking for the best method to synchronize motor torque for the two motors and controllers, with one throttle control. Can anyone help with a recommendation and possible wiring diagram?
P.S. I’ve searched for master/slave setups, but found nothing related to controlling two independently mounted motors- driving separate axles...
Thanks much for any assistance you might be able to offer.
