Squee: Yeah, that controller seems like it will fit the bill. I especially like the fact you can program your desired torque curve! That will save the tranny and diff and help runtime! Plus, I'm using 3s e-molis and I want to keep the current down somewhat.
I was thinking about the BK 10s. Does the S series have enough torque to get a 5lb truck moving without going over 130 degrees?

The "32" in a standard 32 pitch gear is known as the diametral pitch. Pretty sure this means there are 32 teeth per inch(diameter). 48 pitch would have 48 teeth around a 1 inch diameter. Same idea as the metric sizes, just uses inches (mod1 - tooth count = mm pitch diameter, so a 51 tooth mod1 one gear has a 51mm pitch diameter). This is handy information of you are drawing a part that needs gears to mesh.
I am quite sure the Castle controller will perform quite well. They obviously spent a lot of time developing it. ;)
The BK10s has plenty of snot, but pretty much all the Feigao based motors will run on the warm side in a car. I agree with Squee on this one - Go Lehner or go home. :) The "s" motors have a 1/8" shaft unless otherwise noted.
Th Neu motors are quite nice as well, though the ends are open(good for cooling-bad for harsh environments).
