Speed controllers wanted!
I need 4 single channel antweight speed controllers. 2 of them @ 7.4. 2 of them 9.6v. The 9.6v should draw 300amh (is it amh or anh?) continuously. Oh, could you also throw in 4 battery packs. 2 of them 7.4 volts, the other 2 9.6v. I'll give you $150 used, $200 new.

I suspect you'd be paying more than that new.. probably around 450 plus shipping... Check out the antweight speed controlers on the site glen posted... i use the scorpion for my beetle, and does well but the AUX is pretty weak... _________________ ( •_•)

I don't really have that kind of money in my wallet, and I don't have a bank account. Plus, my brother isn't much of a comprimiser . So I might have to to convince my dad to share some money. Anyway, does anyone have a controller I could use? _________________ It seemed like a good idea on paper...

Can you advise us a bit on what your using each component for and we might be able to provide some solutions that can fit into your price range. _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/

I'm guessing your building a sozbot by the size of batteries you wanted. Not possible to run it all off 9.6v is it? _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/

Nope. My 2 weapon motors are 6 to 12 volts each. I'm running them at 9.6v each. My drive motors are 3 to 7.8v each. I'm running them at 7.4v each because I don't want to risk tearing apart the gears ( they're plastic.). _________________ It seemed like a good idea on paper...

if your using those tamiya kits your rip up the gears anyway. tried them for a beetleweight and it just sat there and ate them lol
those hobby motors are everywhere and anywhere. its not like its hard to get them all the same voltage

if they are the ones with the little blue end caps then you can get the 12v version from dse for like a few cents. p9000 is the part number _________________ www.demon50s.com - Minimoto parts

I saw on the dse site that those were low speed motors. I also need 2 replacment motors for my gearboxes becuause the terminals ripped off. _________________ It seemed like a good idea on paper...

they run at the same speed as the 3v ones when run off 12v... then you can use those and run the whole robot from 7.2-12v and forget the 3 seperate power sources foolishness. _________________ www.demon50s.com - Minimoto parts

I'm running my weapon motor at 6 volts if it run the same speed and torque when ran at 7.2 volts. So then I can run the whole robot using 12vs using 2 six volt packs connected. _________________ It seemed like a good idea on paper...

Is the IBC small enough for antweights? _________________ It seemed like a good idea on paper...

Not at all, the IBC is designed for featherweights all the way up to some middleweights. For a beetle look at finding a cheap rc tank steering toy (like i did for $15, or buy an ant/beetle speed controler such as the scorpion, which are around $100 once brought in and bulk bought. Not sure if nick still has any. _________________ ( •_•)
