Re: speed controller

I think the best cheap speed controller I've used is the electronize, easy to get in uk, pretty cheap and really rugged. Main critism would be size as they are quite big and no built in mixing but most tx have that.
I've also tried the sabertooth an although it is quite compact and has lots of features they are not very rugged, have to get them from america if you want the guarenty so large import charges and can't be pushed to their limits. But they are more compact and very simple to use.

I have no experience with the marine escs but they are even cheaper which I think is better because at end of the day if it makes a motor go back and forward that's all you need an in a robot which is supposed to get destroyed why spend more than you need to?

I also haven't used the more expensive controllers so someone else will have to give their opinion on them

Re: speed controller

In my opinion the only ones to use in a featherweight is the scorpion xl and xxl

Re: speed controller

I got my sabertooth from dimension engineering as it means to can get it replaced if it breaks sometimes even if it's your fault! Kenny, I know I am not the most expirianced but I'd would say almost all speed controllers can and have been used to very good effect.

Re: speed controller

sabertooths. all of mine have ended in a smoking mess.
scorpions are brilliant, you can get them from robot power

Re: speed controller

I payed £125 for the sabertooth but there were some import charges. Remember I recommend using the electronize rather than sabertooth. If space is an issue then go for scorpion or something rather than sabertooth

Re: speed controller

what sabertooth is it ?

Re: speed controller

sounds like a 2x25

Re: speed controller

It's a 2x25, some people use the 12A version but I think that's a bit of a risk and they are often the ones which blow I think

Re: speed controller

if you got them in England what would you pay for them?

[Max]

Re: speed controller

Sorry meant $125 which according to google is about £80. From technobots it costs £100 but no import charges but again don't go for the sabertooth!!!! I was advised to go for it but after reading the forum a lot more and having spent a lot of money I found out how fragile they are an how often they break and wished Id gone for the electronize.

Re: speed controller

If you had money and wanted scorpion XL how much would you pay
