Yep. It's a controller from Ebay, and I keep hearing that it required a 3 wire potbox, but I haven't seen a wiring diagram, so I want to make sure my circuit is perfect before putting it in the car, to cut down on debugging, and since a little trial and error is necessary, I want it to be really low power. I'm planning to use all the same 2 gauge cables in the connection, and the same board that will hold all the stuff just like it will be in the car. Then, all I will need to add is the motor, and since it's already tested, I know it will work.
