I charged up the batteries and while installing them I got distracted and hooked up the polarity wrong and fried my Sabertooth 2x 25 motor controller. I contacted dimension engineering and they said send it to them and they would check it out, so I did. They got back to me super quick and let me know it was not repairable. They then offered me 50% off any other of their products, which I took them up on and purchased the sabertooth 2x60 dual motor controller. What great service I can't even begin to describe how professional they were and quick. They contacted me the same day I emailed them, they offered to check and repair if possible the old controller at no charge except mailing. When they let me know it could not be fixed, the same day they got it, offered a super discount on another and mailed it out the new one same day. On top of it all it was user error and it was over 7 years ago that I bought it. These days I am happy if the company is still around. What over the top service. Anyway, while waiting for the new controller I decided to give it a new paint job and put in a 2.4ghz radio from hobby king. After I got the new controller installed, my son and I decided to make a video of it. so here it is, hope you enjoy. <http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.png> <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agcG41sjERQ> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agcG41sjERQ Greg On Monday, April 20, 2015 at 5:54:29 PM UTC-3, Cold comfort wrote: Well it's been a long time since I posted here, but I still been watching now and then. I hadn't had my tank out (T061) for a long time so I thought this week I would charge up the batteries and see how it was working. Well when I put the battery in and turned it on there was a little pop and sabertooth controller wasn't working ant more. When I checked things out I realized I had made the most rookie mistake I could make and had reversed the battery leads. I must be getting color blind. So I just emailed dimension engineering and they said to send it back for them to look at it. So I have a question for you guys on here, this controller is about 7 years old though not heavy used, have I missed much in the world of motor controllers, the rc robot market place still carries them so they must be still a viable option, would any of you have better suggestions, it still seems like a good bang for the buck. I may even build another tank, something German perhaps, so many options Greg -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
