So I presume in that case then best results are still obtained via an ESU V5 because of this? As in a normal decoder with outputs on those pins is just going to make it move from max to min whereas an ESU allows for adjustment? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are preset at the factory and have mechanical ‘brakes’ to stop them exceeding the limits. The entire mech is sprung to both follow wiring or be manually pushed about (and is clipped down for transit). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you please send an email to support@accurascale.co.uk referencing the order number and we'll look into it for you?
