The servo mixers are down in the $15 range from Robotmarketplace.com. I'll be testing one of these tonight with two Talons. Even if a mixer is required, the $135 spent on two Talons and a mixer is the lowest per amp cost of any 60+ amp motor controller setup I've seen to date. Also, a very nice advantage to a two controller setup are lower replacement costs if a part breaks. A few years ago I blew a FET on one channel of my dual channel RD-80 controller. Had to replace the entire unit for $300. With two Talons, the same repair would have been $60. My next tank will be running Talons with a spare in the toolbox.
