Thumper 4Wd Controllers

Do I need one controller per motor or one controller per side? In another thread, DJ said, "one controller per set" but in the same paragraph he said "running multiple motors (in series or parallel) is a bad idea" Are the 2.5A controllers enough?

I will use a commercial or homemade chassis and put outside wheels, PING,...

Voice Choice On 64 Bit System

I cannot change Voices on my 64 bit system, ARC Version 2013.01.16.00. My 32 bit system works fine with this version and previous versions of ARC worked fine on my 64 bit system. I can select an alternate voice but it does not change it. Other Text to Speech Software works fine, as does Microsoft Narrator. Changing the Narrator default does not...
