Re: Team Exterminate
I have a feeling that the specs on the website are on the conservative side because these controller have run kilobots according to the reveiws.

Re: Team Exterminate
Peter, you should promote your controllers! They're brilliant.

Re: Team Exterminate
I make more than enough without promoting them so I am not really interested in increasing the sales.
Sorry about this Simon we seem to have taken over your thread may be you could move the controller stuff to a more appropriate place as you are a moderator.

<shameless plug>
Or you could check out the ESCheap10 / ESCheap10 Premium Controllers from BotBitz (http://www.botbitz.com/). I personally run these in my antweights and have another builder running a pair of my ESCheap10 Premiums in a beetleweight (Squirrel Demoraliser) to drive BotBitz 1000RPM gearmotors on 4S.
Send an email to sales@botbitz.com and we can probably get a price on shipping to the UK
</shameless plug>
I tape two ESCheap10's back to back, unsolder one BEC off one and shorten all the wires and it makes a nice compact setup that is all <10g. We are looking at offering a smaller 2S/3S 6A controller soon for those that are looking for an even smaller setup.

Reprogrammed brushless controllers? Witchcraft I say!

Re: Fingertech Speed Controllers
Don't worry about shameless plugs the more info and choices we have the better.
I was going to ask if the prices were in US or Aus dollars but I see that 1 Aus = 1.03 US so it doesn't really matter either way they look good value.
I assume these are forward reverse controllers for drive.

Because their are 3 half bridges, you can actually blow these controllers up, reprogram it to use the spare half bridge and it will be a working controller again
AUD for prices and yes, fwd/rev controllers for drive.peterwaller wrote:Don't worry about shameless plugs the more info and choices we have the better.

I hear it helps him think of ways to hack brushless controllers 8)
