sensor picture update

The sensor on the 7100R seems really cool. Wonder how it actually works?

The sensor will detect the engines crankpin through the backplate. For those with pumps mounted on the backplate, the sensor can probably be mounted on the side of the engine and detect the pin through the crankcase.

Picture of sensor installed ...

This is the neatest thing I've seen in a while. Everything integrated :thumbup:

HH isn't too clear as whether or not the RPM sensor is included though....? They don't list it as "Included". For $219 I hope it is!

[huskynox]

Does the AR7100 mean JR is going to start rating their servo's for 8V? :) I think so :thumbup:
