Exclamation Anyone Get Their 40amp Breakers!?!?
Just wondering, but who's recieved their 40AMP breakers for the MAXI panel? Who hasn't? Our team has yet to recieve them and we've been running the motors through the 30 AMP breakers temporarily, but they're starting to trip a whole lot when the motors are set on highspeed and you're making it go slow. So yea. Just wondering. Good luck to all of you.

we gout ours today. they sure are big...

question about them though. there's no ground plate like on the 20 and 30 AMP breaker panel. does the ground go straight back to the battery on 10 AWG wire?

You're supposed to hook the large screw up to the positive lead on the 120Amp breaker. The 4 10awg wires go to the M+ leads on the Speed Controllers. the M- leads on the Speed Controllers should be connected to a standard fuse block's groundplate.
