rutts Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 usually on ebay, speak to kev abbott he says there are two but only one is excellent quality if I remember correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantasrme Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I've tried 5 different speed controllers so far and there is only one i use, it gives a good range of adjustment and nice feel. A lot of the others go from very light steering to super light steering and give no feel at all. But they were designed with a basic non programmable chip (or thats what my mate who designs PCB boards told me) rather than a custom version the better controller uses. One i tried also liked turning itself off if the voltage dropped bellow 12v (which can happen on a manta) that took a while to find when it was happening on a customers car. I've been running one of these controllers in my daily driver for over a year now without issue, and have sold a lot either with kits or by themselves. Infact if you need one i have just received my latest batch from the manufacturer in preperation for Billing The controllers are £25 plus postage I can also supply a wiring kit including 50 amp fuse, inline holder, all the terminals you need and the right wire for £15 Also have spare blue power plugs and the correct terminals to fit new wire to the plugs incase you need them. I'll be taking stock of each along with several modified columns to billing on my autojumble stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTREA Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I think I will be needing / wanting the complete kit soon. ..................Definitely no postage to Australia Mantasrme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary6303 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 Any news on the control boxes mantasrme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantasrme Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Gary6303: PM sent GTREA: I'm sure we can work something out although i can't see it being cheap to post to you as a complete kit isn't light or small. I'll have to look into the options, or if you already know what services are reliable and well priced let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTREA Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Thanks Mantasrme. I had a quick look around, using package estimates of 30kg and 50x50x30cm package (?) Myukmailbox came in cheapest at 135quid....TNT were 447 quid! The Manta itself is still in Glasgow, and would be easy to stick in boot, but is not recommended as Can (read: will) get stolen. I have relatives in Teeside that also may be able to help out, but still comes back to shipping cost I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantasrme Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I have a couple of modified columns at the unit so will check an exact weight and see how small a box i can get it all in. Normally i over estimate the weight for the UK courier as it doesn't effect the cost of shipping. Oh and PM sent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
