modifying a rc car(truck i guess) to operate off a sabertooth and the ez-b. Any responces are welcome
Specs: Sabertooth 2x12 Ez-b V3 2, 2.8-3A dc motors w/6A peak standard servo for steering
Rc car torn apart:
the main body. the wheels were driven by one motor and gears. going to modify and put 2 motors directly(with gearboxes) on the wheels. then attach to the sabertooth and yadi yadi ya.

is this right? ^ l l

Hello?

Can't say for sure, but it looks like your missing S2 connection. However, one tip I can give you is that the dc motor used in the front steering, even the whole front steering gear box will not give you satisfactory results. I't won't hold steering tight. I removed mine and put a servo in it's place. It is well worth it if you can find a fit to place the servo. If you just want to get down to having an RC car. I'll sell you my rc car chassis with the servo steering and an H-bridge so all you have to do it connect it to your EZ-B and download my RC car project. 28 USD if your interested.

i have a metal post in place so the servo can steer the wheels.
Technopro your drawing is correct. This is how I am controlling mine. You will have to experiment with the numbers mentioned earlier to get the speeds like you want. S1 will control both motors depending on how you enter the numbers in the config screen.
thanks everyone.
i have completed my rc car phase one.
servo is mounted.
just waiting till my -$30 becomes +$120
