Tony,

Do you have a picture of a servo using the resistor mod? I was going to try that, and a picture would help me.

Bart,

Any pictures or detail on your progress with the dragline and the parallel servos?

Thanks

Jim

Smile Re: "paralleling" servos

I just started fabrication of the carbody, and the drums are finished. When I get the drums mounted I take some photos and pass them along. I have spent a lot of time making working drawings from scaling up from a parts manual. I just received the slip ring so the building will speed up for sure. Work related travel is messing with my play time, but next week will get things going for sure.

I have never done anything like this so my work progress is slow, but it is a lot of fun for sure.

if you desolder the potentiometer and resolder the pair of joined resistors in its place




just need to solder one pair of the resistors leads together, the joined pair will go to the centre solder point where the pot used to go.

anything between 2.2k to 3.5k have been used with sucessfull results, you just have to make sure they are both the same value.

Tony,

Thanks! That is perfect, going to try that and see if it solves my drifting servos on my little dragline.
