Default RE: plug and play onboard glow system


ORIGINAL: RC_Fanatic

Design and operation looks pretty good. I like the throttle feed through. Not sure about the glow plug connector though. I've had them vibrate loose over time and the thermal cycling seems to loosen the Loktite. I'm also worried about the pot. If they don't vibrate out of position, the vibration damages the element and the settings drift. I'd probably use it to set the on/off point, then replace with a fixed resistor (or two, depending on the circuit.

I'd have an option to mount the battery separately. I use a Deans connector on the battery so can disconnect to charge and have the option of a spare battery.

How do I order one to try out?
I will post them for sale on the rcu market this weekend, finishing up testing, so far everything has been holding up.

Everything will be customizable so just let me know what you want
