 I was wondering if anyone in the group has had this 
problem.  I installed the AllTrex controller and it seems ot be working 
good.  I have cut the grass 3 time now and several times durring each 
cutting the volt meter will drop into the middle of the red and everthing slowes 
down.  The current meter drops a little too so I don't think its a 
short.  It acts like I am suddenly running on only 4 or 5 batteries instead 
of 6.  After 10 to 30 seconds it returns to normal.  Sometimes it 
happens when I go from forward to reverse or back to forward again.  It 
allways happens when I first start the tractor, mower running or not.  If I 
just run the mower with the AllTrex off it will still read in the red.  All 
battery cables and connectors are new.  Batteries are 2 years old, and 
nothing is hot when I finnish cutting the grass.  The drive motor is hot to 
touch but you can leave your hand on it for about 10 seconds.
