Uh... ok.

But, I really don't mean to argue, anyway. All input is good input.
Thanks. ;):tire:

Limit of turns on these old MSCs?
I'm thinking I'd like something a bit below 20 turns.
Possibly even down to a 13 turn.

I'm sure its all narrowed down to how much amperage the resistor is...

I got to actually run it yesterday.
Installed two hardwired fans, one over the motor and one toward the MSC.
Ran great at full throttle and the occasional half throttle.
Never was too hot to...

OK then... it seems to me that this is somewhat of an intentional wear type of part.

I'll do my best not to overheat it. But, directing energy involves heat.
Thanks everyone!

Could you explain the difference?
Its been a long time since I ran a brushed system and I was about 12 years old and could have cared less about lay down or stand up brushes back then. ;)

Not sure if its three step... there are 8 connection points between neutral and WOT.
The one that was used previously had uneven spacing between a few of the lines... this one is a constant...

Thanks for understanding... I sometimes get the same type of remarks asking why I ride an old Honda 350four. :cool: But, they all come from Harley riders, go figure.

Never full throttle while I was testing it.
I have not been able to really run it yet.

I wasn't even really half throttle.

Only ran for about a minute or 2... total run time was probably less...

I don't believe the 10T came w/ such a resistor surrounded by a metal cage.
The resistor is directly above the servo... I do have concerns that I could melt the servo. Especially, since its barely...

This, I would think, would be when the resistor would be hottest, because it is doing...

Hi all...

I just set up my wiper type speed control on my old RC10T.
All new wiring, checked, double checked and triple checked... its good.
The resistor is brand new... there was a different...
