I built an electric chopper using a 36V 1000W perm. mag. motor kit. The kit came with a 100A Navitas controller and twist throttle. I got all the part & pieces assembled yesterday and took it for a burn (literally). I overheated & cooked the controller after about 2km. Any one know of a decent controller that will not burn out so easily (or at all)?
