Not a tank builder but something similar [TANKS]

Hi guys,

My name is Andy Schwartz and I am building a R2D2 robot.  Now at first 
thought you might ask why am I posting here.  But we are doing a lot of very 
similar things and I hope to piggyback off your experience.  My R2D2 uses 
130 watt scooter motors one in each leg.  I am using a speed controller to 
run the motors as well as one to turn the dome.  So this is similar to your 
treads and turning the top.  I am using RC transmitter and receiver inside 
the droid.

Can you give me your thoughts on what is the best speed controller and RC 
transmitter to use for a 100 or a 200 lb system?

Thanks

Andy
