Watch out. Wire the motor +/- leads directly to the victor output terminals. Do not wire it any other way.

You have to understand how the victors work. It can apply progressively variable voltage to the motor for forward speed, or reverse the terminals progressively for reverse speed.

It is the reversal that will get you in a bucket of troubles if you try to move the 'ground' off the victor onto a block.
