WM150 Watt Meter & High-Speed Sampler

There will always be something so magical about taking a bunch of RC Components, putting them together in the right ways, and creating a genuine little flying machine that can whizz around corners, blaze through tricky environments, and then take an exciting tumble down to the ground. In fact, we love all of these different aspects of RC vehicles (even repairing them!) and for this reason we always try to get reliable modules and tools to help us maintain our RC components, while taking full advantage of the power and performance they’re designed to offer.

The WM150 Watt Meter & High-Speed Sampler from ToolkitRC is an awesome module to help RC enthusiasts test, calibrate, analyse and ultimately perfect their RC kits, as it allows users to take a deeper dive into the inner workings of their components, testing motor speeds and power draws, calibrating ESC Modules. This can all conveniently be achieved in-line as you drive the components while the entire system is connected to the WM150, allowing you to test and analyse the entire RC vehicle at once for total power draw at various throttle levels, while also using the signal generation capabilities to drive the motors in a similar way to how you would use a receiver.

Please Note: When connecting an input voltage of lower than 6V, you will need to simultaneously power the WM150 with 5V 1A USB Input, otherwise it will display an error. However, this is not required for 6V to 50V input, as the unit will utilise the primary input as power instead of USB.
