Yeah it’s a feather. My idea was to not use a esc for weapon at all if I could get away with it . I didn’t know if there was a tx controlled on/off switch type thing I could use instead, either to switch a coil inside a contactor or the actual motor it’s self (depending on current rating) I’m pretty new to the remote controll side of things.

im gutted they stopped the tz85a. They seemed awesome, I purchased 2 from botbotz that were altered to run brushed And they work a treat. When you say people use drill motors?? You mean for weapon aswell?

Also, while I’m firing questions off, Is it a a huge necessity to have li-P.O. batteries?? Reason I ask is a have about 10 3ah li-ion batteries lying around, one could easily be adapted to do drive and the other to do weapon motor? I also have chargers too. So not sure whether to go to the expense of buying some lipo’s when I have these.

Has anyone ever used a 18v cordless ripsaw motor for weapon or drive? They are beefy!
