Elevon mixing in most Tx units is tuned for aircraft performance not tank performance. Many elevon mixing algorithms only provide about 75% of full speed when the stick is pushed straight forward, straight back, straight right or straight left. They provide full speed to one track when the stick is pushed to corners. (You may be able to see this with the LEDs on your Victors.) At my office, we have used the RobotLogic IMX-1 mixer to get better performance for tracked unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) with IFI Victors. (We actually prefer the RoboteQ AX2550 with internal mixing http://www.roboteq.com/ ). IMX-1 mixers are available directly from RobotLogic http://www.robotlogic.com/product_imx1.html or from Robot Marketplace http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/RL-IMX1.html I recommend to start with elevon mixing to get your tank rolling. If you feel the need for increased performance, you may be able to retune the mixing algorithm in your Tx unit. Alternately the IMX-1 is a simple upgrade. Joe P.S. I drive with the right stick but I am in the minority. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
