The Scorpion Mini is a small low-cost high-performance dual channel H-bridge BRUSHED speed controller for beetleweight combat robots and other electrical loads. It is can also be used for antweight combat robots, R2D2 replicas, sumo robots, and other small robots such as firefighting robots, maze solvers, and carpet rovers. The Scorpion Mini is also suitable to drive pneumatic valves, solenoids, relays, and thermoelectric coolers. If you are new to this, key things to note: Use this with brushed motors like this one: https://itgresa.com/product/22mm-beetleweight-gearmotor/ NOT brushless motors like this one: https://itgresa.com/product/megaspark-brushless-drive-gearmotor/. You can’t even plug them in, the wiring is fundamentally incompatible. (Brushed has two wires, brushless has three) A normal weapon ESC won’t work with brushless, because they have to be set up to use reverse. Otherwise, your bot will only go forward. If you are going to go the brushless route, this is not the ESC you are looking for. Use this one: https://itgresa.com/product/bl-heli-brushless-speed-controller-reversing/. RIght now, that’s the only ESC we carry that has BRUSHLESS reverse capability for beetleweights. The Scorpion has full reverse for BRUSHED. The Scorpion has on-board mixing built in. If you are using a mixed signal, the on-board mixing will cancel that out and your bot will look like it is unmixed. Easy way to tell? if moving the stick to a diagonal corner (upper right or lower left) causes your bot to go straight forward and straight back, the odds are your signal is coming through unmixed.
