jonno 357 Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 (edited) What you need to a diagram for a simple Pulse width modulator. And away you go. Got yourself a speed controller that won't drain your battery down Jonno Edited June 1, 2005 by jonno 357 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deny essex Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 use an old battery drill trigger with a speed controler, with a little modification and imagination its not too difficult to make it adjustable, from a wire wrap around it to something more sophisticated .

ROB REYNOLDS UK Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 a mate of mine has used a dimmer out of a car the one that turns down the lights behind the speedo and it works fine ,i think the best ones are out of the older cars plenty at the scrap yard..
