When you are a young Aerospace Engineer, just graduated, and you want to build a rocket… on the cheap… with a hybrid engine…
Well, you need a valve to control the flow of NOS, and a stepper motor to actuate the valve and a stepper motor driver to drive the motor. And you don’t want that driver to fail… like the TB6560 driver Austin bought.

So you buy a MassMind THB6064AH driver and it works perfectly.

We’re proud to be supporting Austin’s attempt to get to space. Read more about it here:

Austin says "My favorite thing about this driver is that it does not short out if incorrect power up sequence is used. The first drive I used, the TB6560, died the first time I used it.). He also said it was “Easy to solder and simple directions were included with kit!”
