Throttle Jockey

[KevinMC]

Product announcement: Throttle Jockey



The Throttle Jockey is a specialty mixer made to help manage multi-screw boats. Driven from a single throttle control, it optimally blends in a rudder signal to generate commands for two ESCs to give your boat some extra turning performance. It uses a non-linear mix ratio to provide maximum steering control at low throttle settings, then automatically reduces the steering mix at higher throttle settings so as not to over-drive your ESCs.

The Throttle Jockey is only available directly from KMc Designs. Contact by PM or email (KevinMc.Electonics[at-sign]gmail.com) for pricing and availability.

Could it be used to steer rudderless boats? I have a to scale surface boat that is powered and steered by 2 screws because her rudder is scale and non functional. Right now it has a mixed ESC controlling it.

[KevinMC]

Yes, you definitely could use a Throttle Jockey with a pair of ESC's to drive/steer a rudderless boat.

Almost forgot, it sends the ESC power feed to the receiver right?

[KevinMC]

Correct - although one thing you must do is disconnect one of the red leads from the ESC's so the BECs don't try to "fight" each other.

Love the "Made in Canada" print on the bottom.

Thanks SO.
"Designed, manufactured, tested, and serviced in Canada" seemed a bit much, although I did give it some thought for all the Chinese crap that's out there.
