The Talons have/will be tested with stock 350W scooter motors operated as aggressively as humanly possible for no less than one hour of sheer battling hell. The only test we know how to run. With the mixer that Steve mentioned, the retail cost for the Talon solution is $135. The Anvilus Controller designed and sold by Joe Sommer cost roughly $140 including the cost of the custom board and the SSRs (when we could get them surplus). The cost of my solution, which included a controller board, two relay boards and two scooter controllers would have been around $120, but required more wiring (modularity does have a disadvantage). *If* the Talon proves reliable on the battlefield, it will rise to the top of my recommendation list for motor controllers. We knew that it was just a matter of time before the robot market created the products that we need at reasonable prices. It just took them 10+ years to get here. sums it all up for me for what i wanted to know - thanks, will await your testing results. the through of more wiring didn't even occur to me (was thinking more of plug n play) Chris -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
