Thanks, Mike. Let me know what you find out.

I have a few 12v CPU fans around. I'll set one up on the controller and see if that helps keep the temp below 120. The fan won't spin very fast since I only run 6 or 8 cells, but it's something to try.

My concern at this point (aside from the obvious) is that the controller gets to 120 in less than 5 minutes running in my back yard. It's got no chance of keeping brakes during a 15 minute race at that rate. I'm hopeful the fan will help while you find out from BK what's going on.
