Re: 10 gauge wire getting way hot

Dave,
The diagnosis is the same with a few small observations. The wire from the ground stud to the distro should have been #6 and #12 wire is legal only when used on motor/controllers specified for #16 minimum. If this was feeding the drills, chalupas or FP motors, it should have been #10 minimum.
