RE: Prof. Sommer's Controller Review [TANKS]

["Darren Baker" <hobbydarren-at-hotmail.com>]

I have tried the relays and upgraded to the ventec, which was a great 
controller. I then decided to try the RoboteQ controller and if you are 
planning on spending the money on a high end controller anyways. This is 
definately the way to go. You can even hook up to a laptop and set different 
top speeds and max amp draws for letting kids drive. you can add sensors to 
time the tracks for easy driving in a straight line and the part I realy 
like is the ramping settings. You go full throttle and it will throttle up 
for you in any delay you set, saves gears and shafts if you go straight from 
reverse to forward or if you like riding on your tanks like I do.
