Thanks Tim for the reference for the motors I have been direct to their website rather than ebay at http://www.fastcomponents.co.uk/index.php
The motor gearboxes arrived in under two days at ?4.99 each as opposed to $25 from the US. Also free delivery over ?20. Hopefully the 433rpm at 3v should at 8.4v speed up Mutant without a complete re-design.

While still not exactly speedy the new motor gearboxes have just about doubled Mutants speed so it should be a bit more competative now.

What do people use as speed controllers for the Sanyo motors? I know PeteW makes his own speed controllers.

Interesting Scott,

What voltage do you give to your receiver?

Simon

P.S. I do not recommend the Barello boards. I have had terrible interference problems, and zero customer support.

I have used the dual motor board from solzbots, not the one with the aux channel. Never had any problems with that.

The scorps look good, i have some in the latest anticide(need one for each motor).

The barello ant 150 in anticipation has been fine, the only time i had a problem i got a quick reply, turned out to be a swirch problem. When did you have problems with them simon?

The sanyos don't draw that much current so you could proberly build a 6wd antweight with them with any one of these speed control board
