As far as I know, the 40a version doesn't do reverse, so I don't think so

Which version do I need and how many of them? Also would the cheap 4x£10 drills from argos surfice http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...xt%3EDRILL.htm
those drills are fine and tbh i would go for a dual controller i don't think that the electonize are as good as a duall controller like the xxl or a sabertooth
a dual controller btw is a controller which will control both sides to your machine the electonize can only do one side so you will 2 of them and i personally find dual controllers much easier
Anyone know where I can get the Scorpion XXL in the UK and how much it cost as I cant seem to find one online, or alternativly am I better getting the Sabertooth Dual 25A for £92 at http://www.technobots.co.uk/acatalog...ersal_527.html
to be honest i don't think the saber tooth 25 A will handle , or not at least for very long. And i have heard that those are very easy to blow up. What esc is suitable really does depend on whether you need fine control or not.
No idea how finer control I need, have nothing to gauge it by, so kind need a good recommendation.
you have 2 options , proptrional and bang bang , bang bang is on / off , its etierh full speed ot nothing , in bth directions. Proportional control gives you an invinitely adjustable speed , so you can go round corners like you would in a car , not turning on the spot.
Prportional gives much finer control so is better for fast robots and robots with big budgets but tends to be a lot lot lot more expemsive than bang bang. Id recomend bang bang.
Bang-bang sound good to me, I assume u still have some steering options by running one side and not the other. What speed controller would i need to do this with the 4 motors?
Don't bother with bang bang. Proper proportional speed controllers are far superior and will give you a controllable machine. With a bang bang machine, you will be lucky to get it going in a straight line.
And for all those that have used them in the past, yes i know that they CAN work but thats not the point. I CAN open a tin of beans with a hammer and chisel but I'd much rather use a tin opener as it will do the job far better.
Proportional controllers such as the electronize, sabretooth, scorpion, sidewinder (a lot of s's in there) or any one of the marine controllers that are suitable don't necessarily have to cost a huge amount. Generally in the past I've built machines entirely from second hand parts from people on here.
How about two electronize FR30HX Controllers at £45 each or the XXL, it has already been hinted that the sabertooth wont handle it and i am currently looking into the others you suggested
