i recentally sent you a message regarding problems with the Sabertooth Dual 10A Motor Controller-

i said that when i used it the robot would be working fine then i would just loose all control and it would start doing the opposite to what i just made the robot do e.g if i turned to the right it would just turn left on its own and then i would have to turn off the power and then turn it back on again to regain control .

im using 2 - 9.6 volt motors running off 2 - 9.6 volt drill batteries connected in paralell and im using a futaba 2.4 ghz control system,

i thought i would send this again because i havn't heard anything for a week. if you could reply on this message board that would be best.

Kind regards

Hi Calum,

Can you set switch 4 to the down position and try again please. Sorry for the delay in replying, it was an over-sight.

hi,
It seems to be working now, i've been having a play around with it and it hasn't gone crazy yet, i just did what you said and flicked switch 4 down.

Thanks for the help,

kind regards
