feathers are 12kilo middles are 50kg. You would probably want a controller with at least 40amps, with some form of current limiting.

I would recomend some External Relay Modified Electronises, They can take more than an IBC and they will cost you around 80pounds for the pair.
Electronizes more than IBC??? The external relay mod only allows for about 40A I wouldve thought. But yeah, as Alan says, second hand 4QDs may be a cheaper option. Also you might be able to buy the interface with the 4QDs if someones got a whole driving set-up going.
The one everyone missed for those on a budget is to get the original wheelchair speedos and work them with servos. Its a bit rough and ready but the setup would be rock solid. The only thing you miss is running at 36v rather than 24v.
If you went mad and had the weight to play with, you could use a pair of CIM motors at 24v. There would be no shortage of power then. Thats what I use but Im at 36v with Robots R Us controllers.
in the original typhoon thats what we did julian, it worked fine and provided a good drive system, we took the gearboxes off and used bike chain and sprockets with 12cm wheels

Depends on the relays you use. The fets can take in excess of 90amps compaired to the IBCs 50!
ok ok people. please dont get too technical here and remember when i see tight budget i mean tight. also we have an 80kg weight limit for the compeptition but we are aiming for 40-50kg. Could someone give me the easiest set-up for an r/c system
what competition are you entering?
the set-up will depend on what speedos you use, some are just a case of pluging the things in, other systems can require more.
Mark, can you give us some more details on the competition youre entering. Am not aware of anything running to an 80Kg limit in the UK at the moment... if if you can use 80Kg, why in the world would you aim to only use 40 ?

I am entering a British Nuclear group competition. I would prefer a servo where it was just a case of plugging things in. We also have to have a button wired in which will turn the robot completely off. Id like some speedo reccomendations please. One that i can get for as much under £100 as possible.
