MCL I was reading the manual on the saber tooth and it says you can go full speed forward to full speed reverse without braking. It's also regenerative and will charge you battery when in reverse. Might be something you're looking for.
Cool, sounds like that'll work out good for you. I have spectrum radios and love my DX 18's. Those sliders are perfect for excavator tracks.
That is very interesting about the batteries charging in reverse using that speak control. I did not know that they would do that.
Thanks
