Jim,I am updating my C-185 with a METI controller/drop in. I haven't powered it up yet. I used an accelerator cable kit from an auto parts store for the POT. The braded wire looks good on the outside from the pedal to the control stand frame. Used #4 welding cable for all the heavy load wires (battery connects and motor wire). Had to change out all the battery cables anyway.Shopped around on the Net for the best price per foot. The batteries I needed only came with threaded posts. Great information and super smart people on this site to which I am grateful. Soldered the lugs onto the wire. Filled the lug cup end with solder and slowly shoved the wire in and heat shrink tubing over that. I am no good at reading schematics so it is a slow go.

I am installing a new Alltrax controller in my E-15, and would welcome any hints, tips, or suggestions based on your experiences. I have read a lot in the archives of this group, and wonder if there are any updates or other suggestions that may help me avoid problems or errors, or just make the installation easier. I am not yet decided on just how to hook up the pot-box, and wonder what has worked best for others.Thanks for the help.
