Does anyone know the voltage rating of the smoke generator unit in the Heislers? I am installing an Airwire R/C and want to run the smoke generator off the outputs on the decoder. I am installing 14.4 volt battery power and removing the factory PC board but I am not sure if the smoke unit will handle 14.4 volts directly from the batteries.
If I recall, it's a 12V regulator on the board.
That said, don't bother.
Put in one that works.
I agree, just replace it, I replaced mine with an Aristo blower unit that puts out plenty of smoke.
A little tight of a fit and needs a offset tube for the chimney but was well worth the trouble
