A few questions

hi all

im looking for my crusher instead of using 2x electronize controllers for the drive, a dual controller. i have been looking at the sabertooth 10a and to me seems like what i need, any advice? i know everyone will have different preferences but i want something that will do the job, elimate going of on a tangent instead of stright line, and some thing which is cheap.

i want to use this as an introduction into the dual controller area of things

next question....

also for my crusher i want to use 3x 7.2v nicad packs, but i ws wondering if it is possible instead of 3x 6 cell packs, 2x 9 cell packs?

and if anyone who is able to do this? as im not the best with batteries

thanks alex

flow and 360 uses a 10a sabertooth for bosch 35s they really nice, they will probly work fine with drills aswell, but i would recomend going for a 25a sabtertooth for yourself becuase you can use it other robots later not worrying bout it ( aslong you dont to astros or similar)

You can use two 9 cell packs or indeed one 18 cell pack.... the limiting factor is your chargers ability to charge them.

used both, and both work fine with drills, shame i just sold one of them!

yeh i know adrian i did want it but was to late

ill have a look at the 25a version look at the prices etc

does anyone on the forum change battery pack arrangements around?

thanks alex

can i just ask what is the difference in terms of parts involved, between the 25a and 10a controller?

thanks alex

Both controllers are the same size, use the same layout for contacts, same fixing hole centres, apart from current rating are externally identical
