These are now available again assembled and tested.
All kits include assembly instructions and wiring diagram. Assembled controllers include a wiring diagram. Types 1 and 2 have PP3 type battery connectors; the others have plain-ended wirs to connect to the battery, or On/Off switch.
The controllers do not include switches. An On/Off switch or some other way of disconnecting the battery is required before the controller.
To provide forward and reverse, a two way switch, with or without "centre off" is required. The "centre off" position of the switch is not a substitute for a switch before the controller.
N.B. The controllers are not designed to actually stop the motor at the minimum setting.
