Both of these are relatively small and run on 7.2V power, typical for R/C applications. Unfortunately both of these controllers have been discontinued, but you can still find some support info online if you have a PN.
How easy would it be to just use an IFI system and scale everything up?
I could get victors from our massive supply, I'd already have the R/C interface. Then all I'd need would be motors and wheels right?
