Re: Speed Controller Preference

During competition season we used 4 Jaguars (2 drive, 1 pickup, 1 dump) and 1 Victor (for the second dump motor). We have to use the one victor simply because we ran out of room and needed a second motor for our dumper to work effectively.

We had no problems with the Jaguars all season...

Then when we started making enhancements for IRI we replaced the 4 Jaguars with 4 Victors. We made this switch because we needed the extra real-estate to make room for traction control hardware. We fit 5 Victors (with room for one more) in the same foot print the 4 Jaguars previously occupied.

We haven't made a determination on what we'll use for 2010 since we don't know what will be available and what our size constraints will be.
