Wow, I didn't know that HF carried speed controllers? How much did it cost you?

I'd like to take a look at one of them and see if they can be beefed up to handle more current.

A more efficient speed controler will be fantastic, on our electric RC cars there is a huge difference, on my truck and my brothers truck we have different speed controls, on a 1500 miliamp battery i can drive nearly 20 min, his truck more like 12 and the last couple minutes its not zippy.

How about a speed controller form an electric scooter? I'd guess that the motor on that chair is in the 500 watt range. You can get a controller to handle that from tncscooters.com for under $40.
