Re: Jaguars

It will be interesting to see what motor controllers are in IFIs product unveil on 12/11/2013. We have used talons, victors & jags. I would put them all in the reliable category. Most of our failures have not been really a drive issue. (reversed power connections, swag, etc are not controller failures). If you running motors at high stall currents (IE prolonged pushing matches you are probably better off with a talon or victor. We have sucessfully used canbus on the jags with few issues.

I expect to see more canbus on the 2015 platform. Maybe one the Alpha testers could comment on that.
