hi guys im new to the forum and i have ordered all the parts for my robot
(Sharp Turtle)
and i dont know how to connect a speed controller ?
oh and while im here does anyone have a retired robot for sale witch runs and everything witch i could buy?
oh and what would you recomend me using for armour im uusing )0.5 mm of aluminium, but what cheap plastic would be good aswell as metal.
P.S
are Zebra HS Z2113 (Standard Gear) servos a good match with technobots hitec skysports 2 rc set ?

0.5mm ali will not be enough, belive me. i take it your building a pusher from the 2ch tx. what speed controler is it? if you are using a speed controler you will not need servos, or if you are using servos you will not need a speed controler.

1.5mm of tough plastic like polycarbonate or polypropylene will be enough to take on most spinners on its own I'd think 
You might be thinking of mixers, speed controllers are the devices needed to convert R/C signals into something that can drive one or two motors. (and as Harry says you don't need them if you're using modified servos, so if you want to keep things simple that's an option)
