Sabertooth 24v +?

[Kenny]

i wouldnt go for a 25a sabertooth in my cousins feather it always trips out, go for the old favoriite electronize you cant beat them

i have used the 25a sabertooth with 2x 9.6v drills running on a 12v nicad pack and also use one to run 2 x speed 700 motors aswell, i have also run 4 x 9.6v drills on 2 x 8.4v packs in series, and ive never had a problem, i did buy one that was faulty from the day i brought it, but i have 3 now and they all work fine and never had a problem (even in the spinner) with all the shocks etc.... i have 2 Electronize somewhere with the external relays, they are good and were very reliable for me, but even mixing these on the spektrum i still found the sabertooth is alot smoother for control in my robots, and when i did have a problem with my first sabertooth i found dimensions aftersales service excellent and shipped me out a replacement by courier from the usa,it arrived 3 days later.

oh i nearly forgot, my promotional robot that weighs 70kg and runs on 2 wheel chair motors with slas on 24v, also has one in LOL

what do you use your promotional robot to promote adrian?

originally it was built to promote my own business in a shopping centre in shrewsbury,then by chance someone approached me in the shopping centre asking if i could make one but when i gave them the price i think i scared them off so i hired mine out instead with me present, i have also hired it out to the new maplins that has just opened in shrewsbury (coldcalled them and as it uses alot of their parts they agreed)
i also hire it out to birthday parties (hence not being able to come to fw champs) it has also been used for fundraising at the school my wife works at for special needs kids.
i have to rent a luton at the moment to transport it as its 6ft tall and weighs 70kgs, so once i find a suitable box trailer i will bring it to an event, it has moving head, arms, eyelids,it talks,plays music and is covered in lights, its a really enjoyable project and i am adding new stuff all the time, it has come along way since built. i have a video of it on the camcorder that i will upload to youtube and put a link on here.

[john]

I bought and fitted a 25A sabretooth for Ironside - 3 x 7.2v 2600mah batteries driving 2x24v gold motors - and I havent touched it since.

It did Doha and UK champs with no maintenance. It was the only machine to go to Doha that did not break down

One gripe, it was very twitchy on 40mhz but on 2.4ghz it is superb - so Pete tells me, he wont let me near it!
