We are having trouble with the speed controllers and we wanted to know if anybody knows the modification procedures for speed controllers.

I might be able to help if you clarify what you mean by ‘modification’…also, keep in mind that the contents of the control box are on the NoMod list, which means that other than plugging wires into the terminals, everything inside has to stay pretty much the way it came to you. As for other minor ‘modifications’, such as the braking jumpers, I can’t say what the official call on that would be…Joe?

The Victors are major No-modification items.

I don’t know if you are remembering back to 2 years ago when FIRST allowed teams to modify the TEKIN speed controllers.

BUT…

There are no modifications allowed to the Victors speed controllers.

Joe,
This reminded me, we have a bad speed controller that MUST be replaced. It only runs one direction.
I know you told us to call, but I’ve been busy. I’ll give you a call as soon as I get a little free time.

PS I did check, they’re wired correctly.
