How about this controller?

hi all

after some research i have come accross this controller
http://www.battlekits.com/mini_controller.htmhttp://www.battlekits.com/mini_controller.htm
i would like to see what the forums opinion is about it? the specs look fine for a feather and perphaps even a heavy!!

thanks alex

it costs more than beauty all put together apart from that yes should be nice

Reads like a slightly downrated Sidewinder.

For a feather overkill if you ask me? A Scorpion XL or even XXL does the if the drive is build well and the gearing applicable for the motors/wheels. And that for a lot smaller package.

well it has a third channel which can be modified for my weapon, and all incased etc

also when i build a hw i can use it for that hopefully

alex

its the small roboteq, its cheaper than that direct from Roboteq

has anyone used one before?

just discovered from an email that the controller isnt being sold anymore

craig do you have a link to the roboteq in question?

i use that in my heavy,

what motors are you using in your feather??

why are you looking at such powerful controllers in a featherweight?

if you want everything encased in one unit, buy a sabertooth or scorpian and a radio controlled relay and put them all in a single plastic box from maplins.

If you want an all-singing, all dancing feather controller, stop at a vantec or, if you have the cash, a sidewinder. You don€™t and can€™t get much better.

A sidewinder will also run bosch 750s and 400s (the standard heavy weight motors). Not sure about the mini vantec though.:)

I use a sidewinder in my feather Baramot to run 2 EV Warriors. and run 2 sidewinders in my heavy 1 for drive and 1 for the weapon very good controllers.

Yes, they are tried and tested in both feathers and heavys and many people have converted from robteqs etc. to the sidewinder with no problem.

It seems like the best option if you want a feather/heavy speedo, however for a feather, a scorpian XXL does the trick, in a much smaller packet aswell.

The RS80D is similar spec as the Sidewinder, but a much larger box. It is not a bad controller though, a lot of american roboteer like them.

its got a 3rd channel and flip built in and also bec and mixing

So in short it only has a 3d channel as the extra option against the Sidewinder.

Its a bit large in dimensions and specs for a feather, but if you can place it, it is a very nice controller indeed.

well its got what i want on it and is in my price range, and if it can be used in later projects (hws) thats a bonus
