Hydraulic Pump Motor Control Options

Nate the cooler and fan are under $30 so I would say it is probably a little cheaper than a speed controller. To me it just seams like a wast of money and time to deal with a simple issue.

You can get a suitable ESC for $8 But you do need a radio with at least 2 free mixes.

Here is a link to short video showing my excavator running with my control board. I have it programmed so when all sticks are neutral hydraulic pumo will switch off after 2 seconds. Hope you find it useful. If you want further details of this board and how to build program one let me know and I'll post otherwise I'll assume it's of no interest.
Cheers

The cooler needs to be on a sperate circut, with its own circ pump. This is the way I have seen them set up. Allowing independent operation will allow the hyd oil to be cooled when the main pump is in shut down mode.
