However, now that I think about it, I'm not so sure I connected it the right way. Instead of just putting it in series with the main B+, I connected it into the controller enable line (with the keyswitch and brake switch). That might not have been such a good idea. Asking an overheated motor to perform plug braking might not be too healthy for it.
Um, plugging? I though the Alltrax was a separately excited controller, those don't normally plug. They have native regen capability so plugging is not called for.
