Wiring Electronize speed controler

[RogueTwoRobots]

Two Vreg ones will work fine as long as you keep the two wires that form the BEC connection (two small orange and red wires) separated on one speed controller and together on the other

Michael...Could you give the R/C Transmitter and reciever type model.

Your 2 Electronize FR15HVR Microprocessor speed controllers are fine ...you dont however require or want BOTH Battery Eliminator Circuits ( BECs ) just do as Jamie said join one pair of orange and red wires on one controller but not the other.

Some sort of mixing will be required if your going to use a single stick on your transmitter to control the bot....some transmitters can do this ...some cant....hence the need to know what you currently have.

I have a Futaba Skysport 4 FP4YFN transmitter and a Futaba FM40MHz Micro Rx 4 Ch receiver

Would i need some sort of mixer like Alexander said?

If you want fwd/back left/right on one stick and it to make sense yes you will need a V-tail mixer. Any model shop should sell them, or Technobots if in doubt.

.. make sure its a gws one or one thats marked with a 1:1 ratio.. or you could end up loosing upto 40% of the top speed of your robot.

i made that mistake with the V tail.

[kronicstorm]

Thank you all for you help. ppl here are very helpful and friendly.

Only for the first couple of questions - then we turn nasty and devour you for dinner

[john_frizell]

Of course you dont need a v tail or any other mixer. You can just run one speed controller from each stick and have two stick (tank) steering. If this is your first robot I suggest you do it that way, at least until you have it all running - one less complication.

I used to drive like that but once I switched to one stick I found it much easier. I would never switch bak now.
