Default Re: Marathon resistor question

That is the way those resistors work. They dissipate the unneeded energy they are drawing from the battery as heat. If you keep the pedal at anything less than full throttle for a long period of time then yes they will glow red hot, not recommended to do this for an extended amount of time. They say its best to run WOT and coast with resistor assemblies.
