I've been reading up on Maytag and Deecanio's builds and was wondering if someone could explain in simple language the differences between the x-lyte 36-72V controllers. IE at 20A and 35A (the 30A is a mod that knoxie talked about)
It seemed that Knoxie was modding a 20A controller for D to run at 72V along with suggesting a mod that Steve did for his Dirt Monkey to bring it up to 30A.
Maytag ran into trouble with a 35A controller when going for the 40 MPH club I think it was.
Ypedal seems to be using a 20A controller at a higher voltage as well but I think that is with a 4 series motor.
I believe it was Knoxie who also suggested that the 20A controller was more robust and was perhaps a "simpler" conversion than the 35A controller.
Fechters excellent tutorial on modding controllers lends me to think that I could tackle the work involved ,but I'm a bit confused as to the better base unit to start with.
Also does anyone know why X-lyte isn't building these higher voltage controllers and selling them?
