Re: 1 Megohm Potentiometers

Just to clarify-

You may use any value pot on the bot, assuming everything else is equal. Some values work better then others. 95 uses 10k's mostly. It's a common value among the pots we like to use. 100k works well to.

100k pots work on the OI best, but it is no longer a legal matter what you use. IFI has posted a range of values that it suggest you stay in. I believe it starts at 250, and goes up to 10k, but don't quote me on that. I would stick with 100k for the OI. All the pots in the joysticks are 100k.

I would suggest you go with a 10k - 100k pot. You can pick them up at radio shack, although they will be pretty cheesy. If your not worried about the quality to much, you can get some Tuesday. I would go with those, and order some higher quality pots as a replacement if the radio shack units turn out to be to cheesy.
