The Essex Hunter Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Hi everyone i have recentley made a Pidgeon magneg and have used a windscreen wiper motor only it spins to quick and i need a resistor what ohm do i need to reduce it ? Most motors have 2 speeds, so have a play with your wires and i am sure you will find the slower speed, also when you load the cradle with 2 dead birds this will slow it down a lot. Also post a few pictures of it as well...... TEH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
