need a speed controller

[gizmo]

Hi I'm new to the forum and I want to know which speed controller to get. My budget is low but how high my budget can go is down to quality. I decided on the other parts from other posts on the forum.

hey

what motors are you using, what voltage and heavy weight, feather weight or an ant or something?

I'm using 2 18v drill motors and I'm building a feather weight

The sabertooth 2x25 would probably suit your needs. Or double electronize ones which is even cheaper i think.

i'd recommend either:
2x 30 amp electronizes (£86)
sabertooth 2x25 (£96)
scorpion xxl 2x20 (£100) excluding shipping and tax etc

as your using 18v drill motors instead of 12v i think they'll draw more than 15amps. besides it's only £20 extra for 30amp electronizes than it is for 15amp. better to be sae than sorry

That is true, and the electronize price is including post, packing and V.A.T according to their site.

Thanks for the advise guys I'm hopefully going to start on my robot this week

A slight bump I know, but I thought it was better than making a new thread.
To run 2 18v drill motors, would a sabertooth suffice? Or would it be pushing it?
