Connected the last wire, rolled the E-Porsche out into the drive, flipped the switches, pushed on the not gas pedal and nothing. I am using an Alltrax 7245 but looking at a Curtis manual. It's all I have. The controller has 4 spade connectors for control but the manual shows only 3. Please tell me I picked the wrong ones.

You need the correct manuals IMHO for a start. Otherwise you are risking serious damage/injury. :oops:

Any intial do the wheels go round test ought to be in the garage on axle stands in case it all goes horribly wrong :shock:

You can download the Alltrax manual from their website, here: http://www.alltraxinc.com/. These controllers are programmable from a PC, using a serial cable and the Controller Pro software that can also be downloaded from the Alltrax web site.

There are a multitude of configuration settings, covering throttle type, current limiting, half power reverse etc. It is essential that your controller is set up correctly for the throttle type you're using, as I think there are about five or six different options for that setting alone.
