1/5th scale speed project???

Also according to Flymda, the one motor I was looking at is rated at 172 amps max, and with a 12S input voltage of around 44.4V's that is around 7640 watts!!!.....geezzz. That thing ought to haul some a$$ with the right gearing. Definitely will need the 250 amp SHV 20S controller for it. Guess I need to wait till CC releases it in July.

There are a few controllers out now that will handle that. The Schulze 40.160, Spin200 and Spin300. The Schulze 40.300 will be just too big and I think finding a place for it to fit will be difficult. With 20S by the way, you won't need all those AMPs though. The SHV 110 will put out 7000 or so watts. If Castle can indeed modify them for 160A or so you should be fine. The AMP draw will also depend on the gearing you'll go for. Who knows, you might reach over 100mph with only 4000-5000 watts.
