Yeah red, if you will set it for dc- but still use the pulse like you would for aluminum it actualy don't do that bad. I could never keep the red and the green straight so when I think of tig I think aluminum so green for go and red for stop, helps me anyway.

I thought red and green are the same pretty much just green is cheaper ? I dont know for sure what that I heard anyways. Man just like week or two ago, me and my co-worker went to buy some red 2% bought 2 boxs @ $76 ! I just about fell over when saw the price....

Green is for aluminum, you use it on ac for aluminum, you can use it for steel but it will leave a distorted color, red will contaminate and aluminum weld since it is ac.

looks great man, got any pics of your whole did/brake system. also are you running all of those servos from one battery pack thru the moped or two with one reciever pack? didnt think that the moped could handle that much.
