John Rudd:
Dave,
Unless I've interpreted this wrongly, the meter is an electronic one with a led display?.....
But as you say the shunt and meter need to be matched for an mc type.....

Oops, sorry! Should have read the whole thread ...  :palm: was looking at #106 ish ....

My excuse is I've just been stung by a soddin' wasp ... barsteward !!!

Anyway, back under my stone. After I've checked for snakes etc ...  :lol:

vtsteam:
I believe it's a moving coil analog meter, panel type:




I'm guessing the shunt is wired in series close to the batt and ESC, and that ammeter signal wires parallel the shunt and are brought out to the meter which is located in the box, fwd on the bike? Because in earlier photos the wires in the box to the meter look to be light gauge.
John Rudd:
Hmmmm....I obviously missed that picture when posted......... :scratch:

 Ah well, never mind....
Sourcing another meter shouldnt be too difficult as long as the electrical specs are the same to match the shunt......i.e fsd of the meter and coil resistance..........
vtsteam:
And I missed the point that the shunt could be distant from the meter when I was asking about a "remote pickup ammeter" to keep battery/ESC leads short.
