Re: 1972 Golfster 36v Trophy 300 purchase and rebuild
Those resistors getting warm is completely normal. In fact, they have to. If you think about it, resistors serve to remove current from the circuit so that there is less of it for slower speeds. That current can't just evaporate. It get's dissipated as heat at the resistors. You are right that they should not get hot, though. If you think that the resistors are getting too warm then the cause is almost certainly a dirty connection somewhere that isn't allowing current to travel freely to and from the pack. Because it can't get around the circuit well it gets released at the path of least resistance (literally) which is normally a resistor.
