That leaves a few options, Mr Cryptic...Originally Posted by webby
1) it's a house bot
2) it's a walker
3) you're entering superheavyweights somewhere, despite being under weight
or 4) it's non combat
Gary is trying to help you, but the question is what are you trying to achieve with the motor? What kind of strain will it be under, and what kind of performance are you looking for?

I'm assuming this will be the drive for what used to be the Robo Challenge house-bot?
I've never used a Sabretooth but have heard mixed reviews (although their customer service is excellent); I would tend to opt for a Scorpion XL/XXL, they seem to be a bit more robust for robot combat applications.
BUT, yeah don't use either for wheelchair motors. Get some heavier duty controllers. BotBitz 85s/self-programmed Turnigy 85s, as Gary suggested, are pretty sturdy and low-cost for the size of application.
Great thanks, forgot about scorpions
Hehehe. Knew it!
Can I buy them from the UK?
No you can't.
So, is this speedo being used for the old house robot or not ? You say this machine is 100kg. Anything that size needs some serious motor to move it, the Scorpion XXL will blow up if you hooked it up to anything that size.
Ok, so what is the next step up? And preferably from UK?
4QD should run wheelchair motors nicely and their based in cambridgeshire
they even do a rc interface
