RC12i/e speed control resistor value?

Quote

Post by ChuckW » Mon Jul 30, 2018 10:21 pm

Hey guys,

New member here and first meaningful post...I think.

Does anyone know what the resistance is on a stock 12i/e speed resistor should be? I've tried testing and old one with a volt/ohm meter and can't seem to be able to figure it out. I'm curious to know if I can use a Parma resistor intended for a slotcar controller as they are available in a wide range of impedance's and I'm sure one would probably work on an RC car.

Typical rc resistors are 1 ohm or less, where slot car controllers are usually up over 4 ohms and up to 45 or so. Associated didn’t tell you the ohm rating like Parma did, but the Orange were for onroad and the green for off-road.

It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas

RC10 Resistor Speed Control

I'm restoring a 6-gear RC10, and am using the resistor speed control. Everything is working, but the brakes. The buggy just coasts. It's been a very long time since I've setup an RC10 this way, but I seem to remember the motor acts as a brake when...

Last post

I figured out the problem with the brakes not working. The resistor wiper arm was not fully reaching the brake bands of the resistor. It appears the resistor has 4 primary zones (brakes, low, medium and full power). The original resistor brackets...

I am not know about vintage speed controller.this is losi light blue speed control resistor,look very cool, can this one fit for rc10 speed controller?
thanks

as long as the ohm ratings are the same between the two, i don't see why you couldn't use it. if it's for a shelfer, then it doesn't even matter.

Just wondering if anyone knows if the original optima had the resistors for the mechanical speed control moved to a different location as production of the kit kept going? i have one used optima that the original owner said is all original but the...

That's interesting, thanks for posting the insert scan.

I have another on of these in my old dragster. Just don't remember the name. Anyone know??

Last post

those black magic motors are no joke. i remember i had a couple, and i also remember writing off two rc12l's and a rc10l with them. it was like putting a v12 in a gokart.

I have an old Novak 4 (not a T4) speed control that is mint that I wanna put in my old Hot Trick car... I don't recall the specs on it.. How many turns can I go down to safely??

Last post

good points. Thank you sir..

If you are gonna run old batteries like 1200's or 1400's and maybe 1700's a 16 turn should be fine, but if you are going to use newer batteries with 3000+ mah only use a stock motor cuz it'll get quite hot after...

Just got this gem in the mail today. Popped off the wiring cover and discovered this:

And we've been wasting money on speed controls. You could have just hooked the motor straight to the receiver like this!
Can't imagine this worked too well......

Last post

Ummm.....no you can't do that! The white wire is a pulse. Black and red are power and ground. You don't have anything there to control power with. The esc is not just an amplifier, it processes the signal.

Wish I read this earlier. I spent hours...

How hot a motor you guys think I can run on that esc that comes in alot of the re-re kits before it lets the smoke out?

Last post

ive seen people running the 19t trinity komodo conservativley geared. i ran it with my hotshot re-re for a while with the 17t pinion and it worked just fine. didnt get too hot on me, neither the motor or esc.

How many ever ran one one or even heard of one? I had it in my Hot trick Frog back in the 80's. Still works too (I think) lol. Made in the USA too

Last post

I still have a 500 (no brake). I took it apart to try and add brakes, but never did. Ran great for an inexpensive basher back then.
