RE: Help with blown fuses [TANKS]

["flier" <FLIER-at-sbcglobal.net>]

Hey Richard,

Is there a reason you're using 10A fuses?  Use a Slo-
blow fuse and if something isn't specifically telling 
you to use a 10A then go to a 15A or 20A.

Your controller has plenty of capacity.  I'm assuming 
you're only looking for stall protection anyway.

Regards,

Ted
