Ahh ok would rather stitch with the 6s lipo due to the weapons I'm going to be using.
so basically I need to bite the bullet and buy them ha, they should see me through what I am going to be using them for.
Thanks guys!!
You can buy the brushless ones for about £25 each then reflash them to brushed yourself; It's pretty easy (apparently... I just build mine from scratch :L)
We'll I was thinking that but how the hell would I do that ??
and this is a stupid question but do I need brushed or brushless ??
im sure I need brushed but now I'm confusing myself with everything ha
Brushed.
You want brushed controllers, the tz's are good and necessary if you have beefy motors. I've used a sabertooth with drills for ages and there's another cheap ish brand called electronize that will run drills ok if you don't over do it. Some esc's are single per motor and you need something to mix them, others are dual controllers and will mix for you.
As I say, I've never done it myself, but have a look here for some guidance on how to do it: http://www.fightingrobots.co.uk/thre...-spektrum-dx6i
If you're not up to the electronic flashy thingy, buying them from BotBitz or a reseller saves that bit of hassle.
Not cheap, but easy enough.
What you need and what you want can be totaly different things.
2 El cheapo battery drill intestines for drive calls for a esc that can drive brushed motors. See my previous list.
2 BIG deWalts or simular high end drills will be more happy with 2 BotBitz TZ85's.
Brushless drives are in the early stages of development. A few teams are experimenting with it, and there is promise.
But for now, it's not very common.
Weapons are another matter.... Each event more and more robots have a brushless powered weapon.
