Hi, so you think buy a 1k fixed resistor join it to my 10k variable potentiometer? And not just buy a 1K variable potentiometer? Could you show me on ebay what to buy and i will get it. Many thanks
Hi so i swapped the white middle wire (was connected to the black on the poteniometer ) and connected it to the red on the potentiameter with it all still in the line of the cut red wire on the jeep (basically swapped sides on the middle white wire. This time the knob works the other way around...
hi, so the markings on the new control are 'B10K' . So o put the black voltmeter wire into the yellow and connected the red voltmeter into the red 'cut' wire . the side that was joined to the red wire on the new control stays a constant 4.34v no matter whether you turn the control up or down...
HI - so it arrived and has three wires- red/ white/ black - i joined the black and white wire together at the end of their lengths they were supplied with - thus leaving me with two wires that i joined into the jeep red wire.(see pic) . Then off for a test drive- sadly with the control knob...
so i purchased the potentiometer inthe link- so to be clear - its seems to have three connections on it with a red and black wires each side with nothing on the middle connection. So i cut my red wire and connect one end the red end of the potentiometer . The other end of my cut red goes to the...
Thankyou so would this one work and what value do i need to get? it seems to have a choice of 5 , 10 or 100k. I seem to recall that you mentioned before that it was to go in the green wire so are you sure about the red? please dont take that question the wrong way as i know absolutely nothing...
Re: how do i reduce the speed of a 12v childrens car
good morning- i retested with my voltmeter and got the same ohms reading at 2.38 but this time noticed it has a little 'k' by the 2.38 - i hope this explains things

Hi, i am lost when you talk autoranging- its a digital multimeter ADM01 and i set it as per picture

hi, i have attached photos earlier in this thread- thanks

hi again, so today i connected my voltmeter to the resistor/pedal side. findings were as follows-
1) red (vm) to red (r) plus black (vm) to yellow (r) = 2.42...
Re: how do i reduce the speed of a 12v childrens car
ok so been playing with the voltmeter- the is what i found- the resistor has three wires (red yellow and green) and my voltmeter black and red- this is what i found in the various combinations (vm= voltmeter and r= ressistor end-
1) red (vm)...
Re: how do i reduce the speed of a 12v childrens car
hi i am slightly confused re measuring the ohms- am i measuring the controller side or the resistor side once unplugged?
