Default Re: track frames and turntable control?

I've been using the Sabertooth 2x12(amp) dual motor controller in my smaller Stahl tracked models for yrs & have a 2x25(amp) in the JD850. The best feature of it is one ch operates forward/reverse & a different ch to steer, that's what I miss now with my latest track hoe being the Fumotec JD450, it has brushless motors in it & the Sabertooth cannot be used. Making the 450 move around, especially on a delicate slope becomes a little more complicated having to operate two chs now with two sticks as well, if the boom is assisting in the move.

And whatever esc for the swing, preferably something that either has or can be programmed with a "soft" brake & smooth acceleration.
