Re: (ET) Any suggestions?



No field voltage present.  Massive armature current, due to no field voltage present.What model is your E- 12 ?

Subject: (ET) Any suggestions?

My E12 quit running. While checking out why it stopped,  I noticed that the large resistor that is located just behind the front grill, (it looks like a large flat white board with a metal strap wrapped around it about 5 times) started to glow red hot after just a few seconds of holding the throttle in forward or reverse.
I have another E12 that works, so I swapped resistors. Same problem. I switched motors. Same problem.
Could anyone give me some suggestions as to why the resistor glows red?
