All about control

I finished the wiring as much as I could without an on/off switch, which doesnt seem that important right now. However, I've been reluctant to fire the thing up, to see if the motor spins. Instead of asking "Why haven't you turned it on yet?" ask, "Did that thing come with good instructions?" "Do you know if it thinks 5k ohms means stop or full throttle?" "Do you feel like paying another $275 to get another one if you break it?" The answer to all three questions is "No." Until I get some more answers, I'm gonna lay off messing with it.
