Re: electronize 15a esc

I may be able to spend a lot on robots but I still consider 65 quid to be a lot of money. Easy up on the negative comments

Re: electronize 15a esc

what i mean is it is expensive compared to other places where i could get them from

Simple formula concerning robots.

Creativity*time*budget= robot.

If you don't have time (or don't want to wait) , you need to compensate in budget or creativity.
Or any other combination of those 3 basics.

Re: electronize 15a esc

dont forget to add import tax and postage to the cost if you are getting it from the us..

Perhaps it may be useful to know Gabriel has 2* 14.4v GR01 drive motors (running at 12v,) and the speed controller is the Sabertooth 12A from Technobots.
I will be hopefully giving it a good test tomorrow but you can see from the video on the build thread that the speedo seems to cope quite well. cost just under £50.

This demonstrates the capability of the Scorpion XL to power the 9.6V GR01 units @ 3S LiPo with whopping big 170mm wheels
