Spare Speed Controller

Hi guys. Does anyone here have a spare Speed controller? I am particularly looking for a IBC or a Sabertooth2x25 or something that can supply power to 2 motors.

Check out the Hacked Brushless ESC thread - http://robowars.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1581

You might be able to buy some cheap Brushless ESC's from Hobby King and send them to Steve to modify. Will end up cheaper then an IBC or Sabertooth Smile

How bout he sends them to you to modify Razz .

The conversion is still a work in progress but might be bit more mature in few months. Project is Only 1.5 weeks old ATM.

I think most people are holding on to there ibcs n sabertooths are still not that common.

Okay so if i sent one of you 2 Turnigy 85A controllers, Could you mod them and have a way to activate a solenoid without having to buy a switch? I was looking through the ESC mod thread and IIRC you said that each ESC has 3 half bridges and you could use that to activate a solenoid or weapon.

In theory yes but never been tested or even done at this stage.

So keep watching, more work to be done.
