I think this is my first post, not sure when I signed up but back then in Australia we had bushfires, worst in history, then COVID and finally the worst floods in history all this during when I signed up here and being an emergency responder I was too busy to even think about RC things.
I am now able to get back into RC tanking.
My issues are for the tank above , I am selecting electronic parts for the build , I have 2 radios an old DX6i I flew on Heli's for years and a Turnigy TGY-i6S with 2 RX's a TGY-iA6B and a TGY-iA6C so I can go PWM or PPM or serial Bus . the idea is to be SBUS/IBUS once I understand it a bit better.
I have a Sabertooth 2X12 for 2x12V DC motors to be stand alone or driven by a tank board motor controller . The type the Spyker fellow recommends https://skycraftsurplus.com/gear-head-dc-motor-12vdc-worm-drive-right-hand-configuration-right-h-12v-sk4640.html a very nice chap he is too.
My Q is which boards have an output to drive the Sabretooth ? I know the Open Panzers could but they are dead now I think. Which boards have a Serial Port 2 capability again OP had them but they're finished I think.
And which boards could drive a 1/6 scale Dragon Sherman by themselves it won't be too heavy probably the weight of an all metal KT2 I'd say somewhere between 15KG and 20KG depending on batteries which are 12v Gell Cell type for reference.
A board that can handle 12V lead acid or Gell Cell and can power those motors by itself would be great as my knowledge base is closer to that small input. Also if anyone want to sell me an older 12V board in working condition that they're not using I would be happy to buy so I'm not frying a brand new board, just for function tests it's not the end game TCB
Any help would be greatly appreciated .
Cheers .
