Would just one Scorpion XXL v2 be able to run a 2 wheel drive bot using 12v argos drills? Or would I be better off getting 2x Electronize 15A/30A? I like the looks of the Scorpion XXL, but not sure if I will require 2 of them (as they are more expensive than the Electronize).
Any advice/suggestions would be much appreciated :)
i haven't used them but from the spec the Scorpion XXL v2 will run 2 drills fine
The Scorpions are dual controllers, so designed for 2 motors that more independently.
They also have built in features like mixing, current limiting etc....
The Electronizes are basic single motor controllers, but rugged and cheap!
Even an XL would handle that setup. I run an XXL on 4 argos drills at 19.2v! :lol:
For this setup i'm planning on using 2 x 7.2v Nimh battery packs in series as the power source. Do you think 30A rated wire will do the job?
I should think so. Our machine is wired entirely with 30a cable, in places doubled up just to be sure. For 2 drills 30 amps should be... ample. :lol:
Does anybody know how long it usually takes to get one of these ESC's? I've ordered the Scorpion 2 months ago now and I'm still waiting. Starting to consider looking at other controllers as I'm getting tired of waiting ... :p
Email them and ask about it
Scorpion XXL finally arrived :) As far as a transmitter/receiver system for it, will I be able to use an old 27MHz one that I used with my RC car? Or will I have to buy a 2.4Ghz one? (for testing purposes).
For testing at home and such, using an old 27MHz controller is fine. For entering a battle-legal robot at an event, you'll need to get yourself a 2.4Ghz set :)
