Default looking for a twin motor control unit



I'm looking for a twin motor control unit that will fit in a 1/35 that will give me independent track control. I want to have it so left stick up and down is the left track forward and back, then the right stick up and down on a 4 chan is right up and down.</p>

the cheapest way i know is to use the boards from inside a servo. i have built a couple of 1/35 tanks and many boats with them.

hmm,I've never thought about that. Are you using your normal large scale futaba servos for that or micro servos?

I'll have to see if I have any old futaba servo's laying around. I will be using that diy tamiya twin motor gear box. The omtors look pretty small.

Tamiya does sell little project kits that have the wired remote and gearbox as well. You would have to adapt the axles to fit.

Hey Hunter,
Here is a link to a mod I did a couple years ago converting a micro servo to an ESC for turret traverse in my KT. Reference Darkith, White Wolf, and Armchair General for their contributions.
