Title: sabertooth 2x12 to rc receiver
Post by: ATRmaker on October 02, 2011, 09:57:59 PM

hello

i was wondering if it was possible to connect an receiver to 2 motor drivers as one channel , or would have be in slave mode'

if i had two do it as 2 seperate, and servo controls would a 4 channel receiver be enough

thanks for any help

Yes, i you want them to get the same signal, which unfortunately isn't any guarantee for both outputs following each other linearly.

Not sure i get exactly what you mean, but it sound like you're asking for help on a second grade subtraction problem  ;)

Only one way possible. Both servo signal wires into the same connector.
