I got it in like 1987, And the instructions for this motor controller (that I still have) states it is rated for 100A Continuous Current, and 400A Instantaneous Current. 7.2V-8.4V rated, with a regulator output of 6V/2 A max. I have it in my Old Sand Scorcher, and I want to know if I need to stick to NiCads, or if I can move up to NiMH batteries. I like the idea of lots of current capacity, and have pretty much ruled out LiPo's, as they seem like I need to keep a fire hazard out of my car, and that much current will have me blowing another counter gear. I currently have my original 540 motor, with no real plans to go nuts with it, as I want to run it with out buying parts all of the time. So, what do I do? And where in the States do I get reasonably priced quality packs, or do I break out the old Weller Soldering gun and start connecting tabs, heat shrinking, and wiring my own?
