Tachometer

[9VDXN]

Anyone knows where to get cheap digital tachometers for checking rotor rpm?

I know there's a few models to choose from, but I'm looking at this model.... HeliHobby is outta stock...

And anyone knows if Rotor is selling this?
Anyone knows the price?

[ammo]

Almost all of the hobby shops in FHB has tachometers, around $50 odd.

the 2 models above can be bought at shs and jethobby. or don't buy. lend you mine!

champion ...(( errrr I hate that guy!!) is selling the top one at $35 mine worked fine for about 3 months and then stoped working.

The best tach that I have seen is the one that slee has. remote optical tach ..look though and see when the blades stop spinning and it tell you the speed ..very cool, very accurate, very easy to use, and very expensive ...$200!!!!

Thanks for the info....& Waycool, thanks for the offer to use yours...but I guess I'll need to get one for myself to check on my Eco8 & raptor.

Saw Frank using his on my Eco8 when he helped me to set it up. So I think the one I'm looking to buy is the same as what he's using...

I think about $50 is right coz I check mail ordering is abt that price too...

Cheapest I can find is one by Tower Hobbies US$19.90.

The one i'm using is from chan about $35

save the $ for fuel. you can lend mine for months. i hardly need it.

[9VDXN]

how about I buy from you?

[waycool]

just use mine lah. I only need it occassionally when like I change motor/pinion or setup. which is hardly anyway. I've got my hornet, voyager and ergo all setup already. trust me lah, after you setup ok, then hardly got use for tach. save $$$ for fuel and we go fly nitro together at tampines!!!

[waycool]

anyway, you live so near me. anytime I need, can just pop by your place.....

[9VDXN]

Okay lar....will take your advice...

Flew my nitro today...thankfully no casuality...

But someone advised me that it's abt time to change my engine coz it's wearing out..
