Will this work on the ikon 2? Also, how are you guys setting the servo voltage on the ikon fbl?

This will work:

Or even the Spektrum sensor if you can find the normal servo plug.  Or you can change the plug out yourself.

Also the Spartan sensor works:

I used the Futaba sensor when I ran iKon... I just had to also purchase an adapter for the plug in, servo to micro jst I think it was.. now if u use the Align sensor, it's a direct fit.. but check the wire polarity. If I remember correctly u had to swap the wires around.. but the connector was the right one. I'm not totally sure what the Gov port looks like on the new iKon units, but that was the case with the older ones.

Older Ikon/Brain have micro JST port for the RPM sensor while the newer models have the normal servo plug.
