MOSFET

Couldnt decide where to put this thread, so I put it under TroubleShooting?..

So.. i will probably be making basic mosfets for me and some buddies, maybe even offering to sell them to you guys here on AA if i am confident after heavy testing on them. But until then, I have some questions.

Question 1) I have both 22k-Ohm and 33k-Ohm resistors. Which should I use? I couldnt get 30k at Radio Shack, which is what i planned on using. Dont worry, im using 100-Ohm for the other resistor.

Question 2) IRF510 mosfets are all that they had, so thats what i got.. How well will the IRF510 mosfet work? . And I was going to use the IRLB3034PBF Mosfet (which Im pretty sure EF uses in his mosfets, Age, and others), but they didnt have them, or even the 1404's. I am still wanting to buy those 3034's.

Question 3) Which guage wire should I run? For the main wire I wanted to use 14 or 16awg, and maybe 24awg for the gate. Yes? no?

Thanks for any responses

Simple answer for simple mosfet
22k is fine
510's suck use the 3034
Use 16g or 18g wire 14g is to big most of the time

thank you for simple answer.
Just need to go find those 3034's then.
I will proceed with 16awg, and a little bit of the 14 to maybe squeeze in my lmg..

again, thanks
