Yeah I have a brand new 2012 Tamiya Bruiser yet to build and will be using the Kyosho stick radio and rx with it. I love my Futaba 3PM-X with the Blizzard SR and Sabertooth! I know I preach but for me this is my winning combo for now...hahaha. It never ends!! The hobby is so addictive and upgrades are part of it!

What is the difference between the rc version and the non rc? Where is the best place to buy it? I know I can get it from Dmension Engineering, but are there better prices it there? |

You will need the RC version because it has been engineered for our smaller application. I doubt you will find a cheaper place to buy the Sabertooth. They don't show up in many places. Dimension is reasonable and shipping is too so I would go for it......ASAP!! Read the literature here and decide to buy or not: http://www.dimensionengineering.com/products/sabertooth2x12rc Edited by ZippoMan, Dec 25 2012, 05:05 PM.

And as a side note to those wanting water protection for their Sabertooth. Apply Corrosion X to the board. Great product for electronics water protection. I talked to the folks at Dimension about it, and they said it would not harm the Sabertooth. I use it in my airplanes that fly off of water or snow, and my tanks that ford water, never had a problem. I've used it on servos, esc's, rx's, heck even did a tx once. |

Those little 370/380 motors probably wouldn't last long with that kind of voltage, but I bet it would run like a raped ape until they went poof! |

Yeah I think the motors would last 10 seconds before being burned up!! Just my thoughts. 14.8V is more than double what the little guys are okay with.....I think!! :P |

You could always break each 4 cell pack into Two 2 cell packs. Then you would have four 7.4 volt packs. |

Anybody have a idea of what the motor limit is. When I called them all they could tell me was its 10amps, Hell I have not bought any bushed motors in so long do they even so a amp draw? |
