sounds like a 2x25

[Max]

It's a 2x25, some people use the 12A version but I think that's a bit of a risk and they are often the ones which blow I think

[lewisantweight]

if you got them in England what would you pay for them?

[Max]

Sorry meant $125 which according to google is about £80. From technobots it costs £100 but no import charges but again don't go for the sabertooth!!!! I was advised to go for it but after reading the forum a lot more and having spent a lot of money I found out how fragile they are an how often they break and wished Id gone for the electronize.

If you had money and wanted scorpion XL how much would you pay

[harry hills]

i'd pay what robotpower ask for them gladly.

I fine the scorpions fine, they are very versitile, good precision controlers. But they are a little fragile, not from the current, they survive fine from that (high current, and thermal cut outs) but it's the majour impacts, and contact with debris that cause the damage, so if you shock mount them, and put them enclosed in something, eg a metal box (metal for good heat distribution) or just makesure you robots enclosed. And if you buy them from demention engineering, they thay can easily be repaired or replaced if damage does occur. And electronises are also good (and cheaper) but the control isn't so precise, and there is only a fuse rather that a high current cut out. So if a big motor stalls, with electronises your out of the battle, where as with sabertooths you continue driving after the high current cut out has finished doing its thing.

how much would you pay for a scorpion?

[archie2000]

other options.
a few roboteq kicking about for sale. they are more heavyweight though.
banebots do speedos but import taxes are like double the price.
scorps/sabretooth/electronize all seem very popular.
oh yea victors. slightly more than the others but are used in all high power fw/hw systems

where do you get your esc from?
