Hey Darin, what sort of radio shack pot are you using? What wattage is required? Voltage range? How the heck do you wire it to the 1204-412 48v 300amp curtis controller? I ask different people, and they say I can use a PB-6, and then another person says "No!". I saw some of your writing a while back that the controller takes 3 wires. Do you have to use a standard 5k pot with all 3 prongs?
So, would it be a problem to use just a portion of the rotation of a 25k pot? Would that send the wrong info to the controller since it uses all 3 prongs, and the resistance from prong1 to prong3 would be 25kOhms in stead of 5kOhms???
I'm thinking about ordering a slider pot that has a 6cm sliding range and is 5kOhms. That would be super easy to rig to the accelerator. However, no one uses it, so I might just go with the twisty type!
