speed controller

What is everybodies favourite featherweight speed controller and if you could get them in England would you buy them? eg. Scorpion

[Max]

I think the best cheap speed controller I've used is the electronize, easy to get in uk, pretty cheap and really rugged. Main critism would be size as they are quite big and no built in mixing but most tx have that.
I've also tried the sabertooth an although it is quite compact and has lots of features they are not very rugged, have to get them from america if you want the guarenty so large import charges and can't be pushed to their limits. But they are more compact and very simple to use.

I have no experience with the marine escs but they are even cheaper which I think is better because at end of the day if it makes a motor go back and forward that's all you need an in a robot which is supposed to get destroyed why spend more than you need to?

I also haven't used the more expensive controllers so someone else will have to give their opinion on them

where do you get your sabertooths from

technobots

In my opinion the only ones to use in a featherweight is the scorpion xl and xxl

all the others arn't upto the job

I got my sabertooth from dimension engineering as it means to can get it replaced if it breaks sometimes even if it's your fault! Kenny, I know I am not the most expirianced but I'd would say almost all speed controllers can and have been used to very good effect.

how much do you pay for your saberooths and for scorpion users where and how much do you get them for?

sabertooths. all of mine have ended in a smoking mess.
scorpions are brilliant, you can get them from robot power

[Max]

I payed £125 for the sabertooth but there were some import charges. Remember I recommend using the electronize rather than sabertooth. If space is an issue then go for scorpion or something rather than sabertooth

[lewisantweight]

what sabertooth is it ?
