new zigras power settings vs rpm on the older pot?
« on: April 27, 2007, 09:00:29 PM »
Got my new electric smoothie into the air today. Used the same power system as before with the older zigras timer with the pot. I had set it up for 9800 rpm on the pot in governor mode. Now I have put in the new zigras timer that allows power output to be selected digitally by 2% increments. Can anyone give me a few % power settings and coresponding rpms they have found the Axi 2826/10 on a 4 cell lipo to put out so I have a reference to start from. Hate to waste an entire battery or two narrowing it down if someone can give me some data.

Thanks,

Bob Branch

Hi Bob,
If you have a pulse width meter, then 10,000 RPM is right about 1380 microseconds.
If you don't, then ... Sorry, I've got nuttin' fer ye!
Vexa RC make a nice one, and Radio South (say hello to Tony for me) makes a less expensive and perfectly good one.
Hunt inherited mine!

Let us know what you end up with!

I am not sure here, but couldnt you use a tach, set it, run it, read the tach,shut it down and adjust it  by how many percent different you want the rpm?
For years the rat race had me going around in circles, Now I do it for fun!

Mark

That is the approach I am taking. 80% appears to produce 10200 rpm.
