Post subject: | Smoke generator mod. |
Hi everyone! I ran out of space inside my panzer III and I was also bored of the smoke generator pump sound so I decided to remove the smoke's generator pump, and decided to install a 5v 25mm fan. I installed this one: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/stor ... e_Car.html It was working fine for about ten minutes until for some reason I blew the Rx18 smoke transistor. To check that the smoke generator was still working I connected it to the turret rotation's port and the smoke generator was fine. I did this video when connected to that port: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGIZcljQqU8 Do you know why it blew that transistor? I opened it to see how it was going inside, and unfortunally I broke the nichrome heating filament. So I decided to replace it with a resistor. So could you please recommend me what kind of resistor should I use? I have no idea of how many ohms and watts I have to use. Also I think I should reduce the volts to the fan, it is a 5v fan powered by a 7.4 lipo battery, so what resistor should I install in the fan? Thank you very much for your help, I'll really apreciate it. |

Well I spent some time experimenting here and there. I tried with a new RX18 and with an Ibu 2 Pro with no problem. At the end I replaced the original nicrome wire with a small hairdryer filament and I got LOADS of smoke Hope it helps somebody. |

Wow you certainly got some smoke going there Rad, is it also proportional ? The hair dryer element is a good idea Cheers Gra |

Hi! It is proportional because im using an Ibu2Pro to control the tank. With the ASP it will be proportional too, right? I'll probarbly buy me one for my birthday |
