·Is there a part that I need for higher amperage, or will my board just take the peak voltages? By the way, if anyone knows of a good size motor that I can hook up to a car (12v) battery, could someone recomend one? It will need to move about 70 lbs. on 4 bicycle wheels. thx

    Window wiper motors are geared and work on 12v. Mosfets, transistors and relays are usually the way to switch higher voltage power circuits. If you "just hook up your stamp" you will be buying a new one every time you do.
