I have a Bussman 600 A fuse on Voltron. It is prominently visible on the top of the bike:

I have dragged 800 amps through the system and it still didn't pop :? .

My next bike will be interesting - 700 V and 300 A max fuse... Probably the size of a VW Beetle!
Voltron the Electric RG250 - Dual Agnis, Kelly 1200A controller, 6 kWh of A123 cells from Cell_Man and a shitty old chassis from 1985 :| Top speed 180 km/h, max current 600 A @ 100 V.
VoltronII 8)
Say no to spaghetti junction LiPo! Assembled Hi-power LiPo packs of any size!

Come on Casey! If you want prototype racing, throw your leg over something with lithium in it :D

No secret, Doc. I've been working on the designs for a while. I'm planning on using a Rhineheart PM150 DZ inverter - they are good for 720 V maximum DC Bus. The alternative is to go for a PM150 DX inverter with a maximum 360 V DC bus, but the issues is the Evo motors have a sweet spot somewhere around 400 volts.
