I tried the 5.6 ohm 1W resistor, there is no spark at all but it doesn't arm, anyone else having this issue with the 5.6 ohm resistor?

I thought that was the size Kontronik recommended?

That was strange. It is working perfectly for me with a 5.6ohm resistor.

Are you shure it is the right value of the resistor? Have you checked with a ohm-meter?

na I haven't tested, I don't have a ohm meter.

It says on the packet 5R6 1W 5%. Does this not necessarily mean its 5.6 ohms?

Yes it should but sometimes things are not the way they should...
Just a thought of a possible source of error as it did not work for you.

CRCR,

Maybe try a 5R 1 watt resistor (5ohm) or 5R1 (5.1 ohm).

Cheers,
TomC

Or just throw on some EC5s spread that power across the bullet, not much of a spark and so much contact area not much of a concern really.

...Once upon a time there were Nitros, flybars and frequency pins...

I used Deans and CC 6mm bullets on my 10s L600. It burned through them pretty regularly. I switched to Anderson Power Poles and it is a non-issue now. I never get arcing. Seriously, they are a great way to go.

Do you solder the Anderson plugs, or just crimp?

The less a man makes a clarative statement, the less likely he is to look like a fool in retrospect.
