So....I Bit The Bullet And Purchased An Ultimate Wall-E

300.00 shipped....with remote.

ive studied the tear down pics. and i think there are a totla of 8 motors.....

i know if i use the motor controllers from DJ's store they only control 2 motors at a time and take up 5 ports on the ezb....

i think i can only put a max of 2 maybe 3 motor controlers on 1 EZB, right?

that gives me 4 maybe 6 motors....what do you guys think is the best way of avoiding putting 2 ezbs in the ultimate wall-e

Reason i m trying to do this, is because it will be awesome to keep all the originalmovement but to have ultimate control via a xbox 360 controller.

What is the best way to go about this...

one last thing....one of the motors int eh neck is a flat circle motor....a stepper motor? maybe ? not sure....ill post a pic soon....maybe you guys/ 1 gal can confirm is the ezb can power it.

thanks guys and 1 gal

Well, the box came this morning, and as soon as I saw it, I knew what I had...a "U-command", not an "Ultimate". eyeroll

Oh well. I contacted the seller and explained the grossly misrepresented item. I'll let you know how that goes;)

make shore they pay to ship it back,sometimes they dont.they did it to me on a item and i contacted ebay and they got my shipping back

Will do. I made it clear that since the misrepresented the sale so badly, that I expected them to eat the shipping. (both directions!)

Already heard back. Guy didn't know what he was selling, was told by whomever supplied it to him that it was an "Ultimate". Is refunding everything including shipping, both directions.

A bummer, but will wash out in the end.

I agree about the Heathkit Hero.. I am going to gut mine, install the Ez Robot controller and the ez robot arm I think that should really bring it into the "modern world"

@oizee, ebay or Amazon.com may be your friend when searching for the wall-e remote.
