Re: Cheaper speed controllers
Check http://www.robotmarketplace.com/mark..._robowars.html I really like the RoboWars IBC Speed Control. I have one myself. It is dual channel which basically means it is two speed controls in one. It will hande 50 amps continuous on each channel. The Innovation First Victor 884s can only handle 40 amps continuous. It costs $250. Two V884s cost $230. The Robowars IBC is a much better unit since it can operate from 4-36 volts and it has a bunch of built in features.
