I have a question. Why do you use two Victors per motor?

[mattmaxsr]

@kkeerroo the S28-400 motor under load can easily pull 200 amps and 2 IFI Thors (now called VEX Victor 885)

was lighter and have a smaller foot print in the bot than an Ampflow or Vantec ESC.

@mattmaxsr

Thanks.

Is it one IFI per pole of the motor? I'm not an electronics person

[mattmaxsr]

@kkeerroo Either am I, But a 2pole motor has 2 wires usually one positive and one negative. The mag is a 4pole motor with 2 red (positive) and 2black (negative)wires. I split them and run one red and one black to each Thor (Victor 885)

hello I have a two ampflow A28-400 which I recommend Planetary Gearbox

[pivotisawesome67]

hey matt you know you are a great role model 4 us, hopefully my robot will kick butt at the combots cup (once its built)!

[dcconnect1]

you very well explained most of the insides but what about the flame thrower?

[UBConquered]

Magmotors are great, nice choice

[SurWrexalot]

Thanks for the video!

What are you using as a remote valve for the flamethrower? Is it just a 24v pneumatic solenoid our is it something more specialized?

Thanks again and keep up the great work!!!
