No Chris it wont, and you stand a fair chance of cooking the voltage regulator if you try.
The relay control is 12V at a max load of 0.25A
You could use the IBC to drive a small 12V s.p.n.o automotive relay and use that in turn to switch your 120 series @ 24V.

Chris, There is a modification you can do to up the Voltage to the battery voltage but it wont increase the current handling.

Note: We did this and our IBC is no longer working :sad: but due to wiring fault.

Why not simply slave the operation of the big solenoid from a smaller relay?

Sorry to interupt this threads Peaceful slumber but now I have drive worthy enough to test my IBC, I havent a clue why but it appears to be slowly turning, in which direction I havent a clue. The wires are linked up correctly. Me thinks it might be the radio, my skysport 6EXA. Suggestions?

Ps How do I get rid of that noise? I belive it s the pulse width frequency but any way to surpress it?

sounds like you trims are out on the TX, if so just keeping nudging the trim buttons on the TX until it stops. For example if its slowly turning left, nudge the steering trim to the right.

Ceri I believe the Trims on your radio are not set to the centre. Get out the book for you skysport 6EXA and find out how to adjust them to the centre. IIRC its the little sliders at the side of the sticks.

Ceri,
What you have there is a TX that is slightly out of trim reletive to the IBC, not to the TX its self! its not uncommon to have to adjust the trims to get a perfect dead band. In fact with Vantec controllers I have never had one that didnt need a little trim adjustment.
As for the noise, you are right, its the switching frequency making the laminations in the motor armature sing..Vantecs do it too (but louder!) You cant do anything about it but its totaly harmless to the motors so dont worry.(I quite like it!)

You can always tell if someone has a Vantec in their Robot. LOL!

Oh dear! So its come to this, the current RW and World champions reduced to doing Vantec inpressions!!

How the hell did I managed to forget the trims? Thats a night testing for you.

After replacing the battery, changing the servo lead from Aux to Right and adjusting the trims, I was able to conclude that my IBC is fully working. Thanx.

Does anyone know what value the resistors to the left of the MOSFETS are? Ive broken one off and need to replace it. They are the small black surface mounted ones with 151 written on.
