Newbie wanting to build a RC Sumo bot

Hey guys,

I am relatively new at this, I’ve been trying to get into building RC cars and robots but I need some help before I know exactly what to buy. I’ve been looking to buy a kit that will help me with setting up an RC Sumo (< 3 kg) robot. The information on the site helps with the assembly of the robot, but I’d like to know if there are any tutorials on the site that exlpain how to connect a reciever and transmitter to wirelessly control one of these sumo bots or if anyone could explain steps needed to get this to work?

Best,
Adrian

You need a DC motor controller which accepts RC commands between the receiver and the motors. We suggest a Sabertooth.
