Then the 250 KV motors would get my preference.

I ordered in the past with Alien Power, and know of others.

I ordered a lot more with Hobbyking.

So, we've ignored advice from this fine community for at least a second time by trying out a HiFei speed controller rather than dropping £500 on an MGM.

So far, so good - I appreciate we haven't put much load on it yet (~15A) compared to what will be a considerably higher current when we have the weapons motor hooked up to the drum. You can view my testing at my flat in Southampton on our blog: https://www.arc-robotics.org.uk/2016...weapons-motor/

Next workshop weekend for us is 7th/8th January, so we'll see how far we can get. There's been a slight hiccup in the drum department - but I think Rob (emisnug) is on that to get it sorted asap. All being well, we'll be spinning everything up soon....
