Title: Rev counter for electric motors
Post by: Fastfaz on June 16, 2016, 08:12:37 pm

    Does anyone know where I can get a rev counter/speed measuring meter for use on model boat engines? I want to be able to check the minimum and maximum revs/speed of various motors. Thanks for looking.
     Cheers,
         Faz. :-))

Sorry, can't post photo, you can find these, and similar, on eBay. Could be what you want?
Turnigy Multi-Blade Micro RPM Tachometer Motor Speed.
About £15-00

Just Google DT-2234C............

My example is listed as 2.5 to 99,900 PRM....[+/- 0.5% + I digit] {-)

AUD$18.00 including delivery ....the OZ dollar was a little higher at the time

If you are seriously interested in your motor/blade/battery performance why not get a digital pyrometer at the same time :-))

Only another $20.00.......... Derek
