Re: Power distribution block mounting

Nelson,
I would highly recommend you rethink your design. If you are using the AndyMark transmissions with the Chalupa motors (CIM) then you should use the 40 amp breakers and #10 wire for best results. These larger motors have a very high stall current and if you chose to run them on the 30 amp breakers you will find that they will trip and not give you the driving time you need. Please ask questions while you still have time before ship.
