Yurtle....that was cool. Now....do you have one that will shock a novice cart fixer right before he is about to do something stupid? You know....like a "Google Stupid Stop IT" thing? Maybe it could send out a small taser like gizmo and freeze the novice cart fixer (Like myself) before it cost said novice a few hundred "stupid" dollars (or "learning dollars").

Man....you could make millions with such a device!!!

The wife has tried many methods on me over the years. None of them seem to work due to the high resistance of the my Neanderthal mind.

Experience is something you don't have until the moment after you need it.

That's not a hat, it's a cranium ambient thermal break device.

SWMBO makes me wear it so I don't get too hot-headed.

BTW: I'm old school, so it is made of Stannum rather than Aluminum.

In the summertime....is it difficult on hot days to determine if it's your wiring that may be smoking......or your hair that's starting to catch on fire?

I don't have enough hair left to make much smoke.

ok scottyb and johnnieb... here are the pics I have been wanting to post so i can get some advice from you all. the first pic. you wanted me to post a pic of the controller and solenoid, the 2nd pic is the diode i was wanting to know where to hook it up or is it even important, I have seen/heard mixed reviews on it.. the 3rd is a wire that goes from the motor to the controller. my question with it is, can i get this wire in a 4 gauge? with that fitting on the end?? is that wire causing a bottleneck in my 36v system? thanks for the advice and input in advance!!!
