1. Have an idea.
USE DRILL MOTORS TO DRIVE ROBOT.
To do this i need a motor controller that will provide the 12-18v's the motors will need.
2. Have a rc car that i want to ez-fy. motors will be replaced by other dc motors(between 4-6V).
What is the best(and cheapest) motor controller for each individual senario.
With those answers you can check the specifications of the available controllers, and start looking at price vs features.

for the drill motors, would a sabertooth be strong enough?
the drill motors will be simple to adapt because they already have pwm on them(trigger)

This one is the sabertooth 2x5. able to power brushed motors up to 5A.

Which one is better for this?
nevermind the regular sabertooth's are easier.
Just a question
@Herr Ball and I are discussing which method is the right one to use in this thread: http://www.ez-robot.com/Community/Forum/posts.aspx?threadId=3106 currently.
Apparently R/C mode more easily supports speed control, but some posts indicate serial control may be more reliable. Looking for someone who has used them to chime in with more information. (my 2x25 is still in the box it came in as I am not ready to hook it up to my wheelchair motors yet).

the 2x12 can do 25A jump for a few seconds and 12A continuess.
that will give my robot plenty of power.
the sabertooth 2x12 is good for this setup right?
dont want to mess up anything other than the old rc car frame.
and does anyone have a pic or diagram of a sabertooth connection to the ez-b?
i smell a smaller canadian remake!
