Dang, I didn't get the product replacement thing! Oh, that just makes me so mad. Well, I forgot to walk everyone through the piece of wood that has all the stuff on it. There's a curtis controller with a too small aluminum plate under it, next comes an awesome contactor that can run 500 amps CONTINUOUS! ya. Next comes the 2.5 Ohm 40watt resistor (four 10 Ohm, 10 watt resistors in parallel from Radio Shack), and then finally is the 300 amp fuse. Then there is a dead stick man.
