Speed control help

Hi dose any one out there have any experience with Robot Power Sidewinder speed controlers. any advice on setting them up i have my robot with 24volts supplied by hawker batteries running bosch 750w motors.

yes, im their uk agent, so drop me an email.

i run wheely big cheese on 24v of hawker battery power, with a similar motor type. My other heavyweight runs bosch 750s and hawkers, so Ill likely be putting a sidewinder in it soon, if you want to wait for real test data I should have this done before the UK champs?

Leo runs bosch 750s on 36v and he is happy with the controller (as far as I know)

I can talk you through a basic setup on email if you like.

cheers

I am still happy with the sidewinders. There are 2 other roboteers in the Benelux who run them on Boshes on 36V, and 1 more on the way.

I will be running the new Splinter on a Sidewinder too, but on 24V.

We run Little Hitter on a sidewinder at around 36V (depending what battery pack my brother puts in the robots) also so far without problems on 36V drill motors but this is a featherweight.
