I have a number of victor 883 Motor speed controls I would be happy to sell... It doesn't get much easier than 4 wires and a signal line from the radio. I was going to say the "cheap" solution almost never is... but that linked PWM motor control was over $200...
In all honesty... its much easier and cheaper to build large scale RC car (tank) today than it was even 5 years ago. The prices for hardware have fallen by 5 fold (10 fold on some cases, like a radio) Battery technology is getting better and cheaper, and even fractional horsepower motors are much easier to get from known sources instead of surplus. I also have a small fab shop and would be happy to help people by making simple parts or modifications to existing parts (like boring out sprockets, making keyd shafts, etc) Chewy www.ttro.net -------------------------------------------- On Mon, 2/2/15, Scott Ferron <[email protected]> wrote: Subject: Re: [TANKS] 12 volt dimmer /motor control as speed control?
