Great tutorial, thanks for sharing! you are so kind.

Cool big robot bro

Nice! Scooter engines are great for these, I use Sabertooth controllers in mine but they're a tad pricey. I didn't know that the SmartDriveDuo existed and they look way cheaper so I'll use one of those in my next one. If it wasn't for your video I wouldn't have known they they existed so cheers for that! :-)

ive been looking at building a lawnmower with FPV and instead of these expensive speed controllers im going to use a pair of suitable sized ESC's from HobbyKing. Most of these motors only draw a few amps (wheelchair motors which an haul people size loads) only draw 8 amps so these 30 and 60 amp speed controllers are only really overkill. You can use the radios settings to "mix" channels as you wish and that is what the dip switches and Duo or Dual channel feature is doing with the expensive units. Although overkill, a 30 A speed controller for RC use is about $15 each so that frees up money for other things.

@@greavous93 The true gospel is the good news of the Person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. In other words, it is concerning who Christ is and what He did to save His elect only. The gospel includes the how and why, which can only be seen by faith. It is a message that declares how the eternal Son of God came down, took on a body of sinless flesh (John 1:14) as He was born of a virgin (Mat 1:23). He was both God and man in one Person. He was born under the Law to keep and fulfill it (Mat 5:18, Gal 4:4). He did that, not for Himself, but for all those He represented because they could not keep it themselves. The word of God calls these people the elect or His sheep, among several other names. His obedient life also included the part of dying. He took on the sin of His people as both a Substitute and Representative of those people. The Bible said He was "made to be sin" (II Cor 5:21) and the way that was done is by God imputing (legally reckoned or charged to the account of) sin to Christ. That means all the sin of all those people God chose was "laid on Him" (Isaiah 53:6). This sin was legally transferred to His account and He then owned it in such a way to be guilty of it all. God the Father poured out His wrath and hatred toward sin on His Son and had pleasure (Isaiah 53:10) in doing so, in that, He was completely satisfied in Christ as a Sacrifice that met all the demands of His strict Law and inflexible justice. Christ finished the work of paying the penalty of the Law and then said " It is finished" (John 19:30). He secured salvation for all God’s chosen people that would even be born. His resurrection is evidence of the acceptance of His sacrifice to the Father. The combined work of His obedience to the Law and His obedience unto death on the cross was considered establishing righteousness. This is what one of the Old Testament prophets prophesied as "bringing in an everlasting righteousness" (Daniel 9:24) as Christ died effectually and exclusively for those chosen of God before the world began (Eph 1:4). This righteousness is what God imputes to His people in the context of giving the life to believe in Christ. This puts them in a state called "Justification" and as a result they are eternally secure, in Christ. This is the gospel (Rom 1:16-17). All this takes place in such a way to show God as both a God of justice and a Savior. This is how grace reigns through righteousness (Rom 5:21)
