ill return your email monday or tuesday tom, in the mean time, dont buy anything, you will waste your money on things weve already blown up.
btw Ewan, I know how the sabretooth works, Ive had one in bits already for extensive testing, and in 3 different robots, but thanks for the info. I stand by my earlier info. :)
Keep youre hat on James. If its the transfer material youre referring to you mightve underestimated it. ...

?
sigh
ok? i just want a cheap and cheerful rambot that i can kill my friends rc cars with till i can get to an event
Tom, the Viper 15s or 20s would probably work (if youre going 4WD then lean towards the 20s) but from having a quick look through the specs, the highest input voltage you can use is 12V, which means if you ever want to upgrade to, say, 18V or 24V, youd have to get new speedos. (Just as a comparison, the Electronize take up to 24V input)
As Jamie said. The Mtroniks speedos do work well aslong as you dont run them any higher than 12v.
Not too sure on the price of electronize lately, but ive still got some in an old robot that ive had for 4 years on gold motors and theyve never got warm. A very reliable controller. As others have said, there is a tiny delay as they use relays, but unless youve driven a robot with a very expensive speedo you wont be able to tell the difference its that small of a delay.
i got tiny rams off my mate dave today. i was testing it out using a small compressor but wasnt that powerful ill youtube the vids and post em later might just use it as a can crusher or somthing. plus its got a leak in the airline connectors just couldnt be bothered sealing it :p

got a little vid of the rams in action now but im not impressed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DWR015pxVUhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DWR015pxVU
dont know what im going to use as a air tank and how im going to connect it and refill it.
for a featherweight weapon it it is very weak indeed. Id look for a different setup if I were you.
mind you, setups like these are great to make test configurations.
so how was the weekend for you all?
