I need 4 single channel antweight speed controllers. 2 of them @ 7.4. 2 of them 9.6v. The 9.6v should draw 300amh (is it amh or anh?) continuously. Oh, could you also throw in 4 battery packs. 2 of them 7.4 volts, the other 2 9.6v. I'll give you $150 used, $200 new.

I suspect you'd be paying more than that new.. probably around 450 plus shipping... Check out the antweight speed controlers on the site glen posted... i use the scorpion for my beetle, and does well but the AUX is pretty weak...

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

I don't really have that kind of money in my wallet, and I don't have a bank account. Plus, my brother isn't much of a comprimiser . So I might have to to convince my dad to share some money. Anyway, does anyone have a controller I could use?

Can you advise us a bit on what your using each component for and we might be able to provide some solutions that can fit into your price range.

The 7.4v controllers:
My left and right drive motors

9.6v controller 1:
My primary weapon, a metal cutting disc.

9.6v controller 2:
My secondary weapon, a lifter at he back.

Now I have to go.

Nope. My 2 weapon motors are 6 to 12 volts each. I'm running them at 9.6v each. My drive motors are 3 to 7.8v each. I'm running them at 7.4v each because I don't want to risk tearing apart the gears ( they're plastic.).

if your using those tamiya kits your rip up the gears anyway. tried them for a beetleweight and it just sat there and ate them lol

those hobby motors are everywhere and anywhere. its not like its hard to get them all the same voltage

if they are the ones with the little blue end caps then you can get the 12v version from dse for like a few cents. p9000 is the part number[/quote]

I saw on the dse site that those were low speed motors. I also need 2 replacment motors for my gearboxes becuause the terminals ripped off.

they run at the same speed as the 3v ones when run off 12v... then you can use those and run the whole robot from 7.2-12v and forget the 3 seperate power sources foolishness.

I'm running my weapon motor at 6 volts if it run the same speed and torque when ran at 7.2 volts. So then I can run the whole robot using 12vs using 2 six volt packs connected.

Is the IBC small enough for antweights?

Not at all, the IBC is designed for featherweights all the way up to some middleweights. For a beetle look at finding a cheap rc tank steering toy (like i did for $15, or buy an ant/beetle speed controler such as the scorpion, which are around $100 once brought in and bulk bought. Not sure if nick still has any.
