Well, any more suggestions before I blow another Vantec. Should I get a sidewinder? Those controllers look pretty heavy duty for the cost they come at. But the Vantec name and repair service ya can't beat. But back to the main topic I was askin you guys about the wiring was not going to look like that permanently but the brake wire went to the battery on the wiring chart I just didn't use the brake coil... Oops. And the fuses were 15 amps to high. And I honestly believe that you were right when you said there was a dead short some where. But... I had tested it earlier and the only change I had made was the little blue thing that fits between the pins to control mixing or non mixing function was originally in place and when I tested again it blew. Also I had changed the polarity in one of the motors in order for it to rotate in the same direction as the other, that was the second change I made. Also should I change my wiring system? Any and I mean any ways I could improve my odds not to blow the Vantec when it has been repaired? Any help much appreciated as always. Thanks a ton for the past input it's given me a better understanding on what I'm supposed to be doing.
