Re: Spark Motor Controller vs. Victor SP
I just took a Victor SP and a SPARK out of their boxes and weighed them.
SPARK + one PWM Cable = 86 gram (0.19 lb)
Victor SP (pre-wired with PWM Cable and ~12 inches 12AWG leads) = 104 gram (0.23 lb)
Adding a foot of 12AWG* to the SPARK will bring it to about 98 gram (0.22 lb).
[edit] Also need to add two crimp rings or forks to the SPARK. Total weights are looking very close.
---------
*Wire tables usually indicate about 20 lb per 1000 ft (9 gram per ft) for 12 AWG bare copper wire. Insulation types vary, but about 3 gram per foot is a reasonable guess.
