dave i was thinking bout your idea

how are you making the sensor.... i was thinking that you might use probes... but then i thought is it wise to send a current thru nitro?

and with the fuel sloshing around how will u get a accurate read out?

The current/voltage on the probes will not be big enough to cause any problems. but the current is not what ignites fuel its the spark.

the gauge is just to be used as a guide, not a measuring device. when the level gets down close to the tip of the probe it will yes, it will be inconsistent but you know its close to the bottom and the more the light comes on the closer to the bottom it is.

The only other way is to use a flow meter but i havent seen anything that small to fit on a rc car.

memory has just kicked in...


Places along rivers used to use special wierdo gauges.
They were just like a small floating device in a tube.
the top was open, but only enough to let air in and out, not the floating device.
no the tube goes to the bottom.
the floating device is only just big enough to fit inside the tube.

and this way, it removes most of the sloshing and gives a fairly accurate reading.

this is what they used to use at some places along rivers to get tide height, (Like on river thames) and the waves dont give an innacurate reading.

squizzytaylor, I did refer to the attachment. What really the cheat means on "loose" during entering and exiting stated in the attach. Can you explain.. Thank you. It regarding the droop attachment. Where the statement Scenario A: A car is too loose while entering a corner.

It probably is the same design actually wat i explained as what they use in real cars.

I dont think it would b easy tho to get a small enough one made to do it.
