Can anyone recommend a S/C for two 24V Litton Motors?
Directly available?
Then the choise ain't that big.
Vantec 36 or 47E
4QD
Roboteq
Robot Power OSMC
But if we're thinking lightweight, than I can see an application for the TZ85's, if you won't go over 6S LiPo.
Wotty 360 - Cheaper than a Roboteq or Vantec, can get them easily fixed.
Do you have any idea where one could obtain a Wotty? And a rough idea of how much?
Contact Ian Watts, he makes the wotties.Quote:

Yep they are, I've got one with brand new fets for sale for £300 .
Ok that's great, I'll talk to the other half and make sure she's ok with it, didn't realise they were that dear lol thought they'd be £150 or so lol. :D
Is it the same Ian Watts as of the Big Bro team? And do you know if they do say a smaller Wotty 100 etc?
Yes it is. He used to do a watty 300 , smaller gets but I think the next step down is a small one for feathers.
Isn't there a wotty 180?
Ahh that might be It, the 360 or the 180 one is double the power and only about £40 dearer and I think most went for the 360 to avoid blowing up.
Oh ok that's cool. Has anyone screwed servo's to a wheel chair joy stick?
There is a Wotty 100 too, 2 x 50A and I reckon its £200
It has been done for some very cheap builds- more in the time of robot wars than these days I beleive.Quote:

It would probably be a more reliable setup to use a bang bang style controller using relays, servos and microswitches or with servos making direct connections between wires giving 'full on or full off' control. Although this can make steering difficult it will probably be less prone to breaking from too much current than a joystick.
Ok no problem. I'll get saving for a propper ESC.
How do you get contact with Ian Watts, because the Wotty Controller?
On its homepage, I already have it try!
How I can still reach him, here in the forum "what name"?
info@teambigbro.co.uk i think this might work aswell
ian@teambigbro.co.uk i have a wotty 360 for sale if interested.
ian_watts
don't expect a quick reply...... but he will get back to you.
Interest definitely, I just do not know what I need, an excerpt of my mail to Ian Watts...
Single Channel Controller for the Weapon of Luzifer
Continuous current 160A
And Surge Current 300A
I have in my Robot this Weapon engine...
http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/0-A28-150.html
The Stall Current is 285A
Where the controller for this?
And the most important question, for me, how big is the controller and what he weighs?
And of course, what is the price?
Do you really need controlled movement, or can you just run it full power each way with big contacts like Beta did?
Ahh the watty speed controller is dual chanell.
Yes Really, the Problem is when the engine by full Power Work, is the scoop as soon as a Flipper, I need CONTROL, also lifts to! ;)Quote:
Do you really need controlled movement
That is not a Problem, i have Anwer from Ian :DQuote:
Ahh the watty speed controller is dual chanell.
The Controller make Maximum Current 160 Amps per Channel for 5 minutes
and important ---Attempt to draw more than 200 amps per channel from it.---
The Engine Stall Current is 285A, the Wotty must therefore be Connected so...

Also the Wotty Duall Channel, would be so the right thing! ;)
What is your Price, whit Shipping to Berlin Germany?Quote:
i have a wotty 360 for sale if interested.
What would be even better...
http://www.teamstorm.com/storm2/speed.htm
that would be really perfect for Luzifer! :D
As well as the old Storm i have two 4QD-200 for the Drive and search a Controller for my weapon!
If I could get this controller, it would be even better!
Know one if you ran as is, or was that just a one time special production?
The Storm II controllers were a custom build - you would not be able to get new ones made.
We now use a MegaWotty (as named by us!), it's a bespoke designed Wotty which runs 2xLEM130's at 36v with no problem. We also use the same MegaWotty to drive Storm II's arm. If we have a drive failure we can swap them over.
Amazing controller !
Terry when you this Read, can you tell me please on my personal messages to you answers! ;)
Or by e-mail there, I've also try to contact you!
