NeilP - are you talking about the 54xx or the 53xx motors?
As far as I am aware, the 54's were only being offered in the group buy in the 03 and 04 wind (I realise they exist in the 05, but only Stealth has them right?).
In any Xlite motor, the 05 wind will give more torque and generate less heat for hill climbing than an 04 wind. But personally, I would only buy an 05 wind if I wanted to climb up huge hills. I have noticed that experimenting between my 5303 and 5304, I can compensate for the 03 loss of torque with more amps, but the 03 gives a way higher top speed. If you are running such high voltages though, and you don't want speed over 60kph, then I would go with the 04 wind of either the 54 or 53 models. My 5303 basically draws full battery amps at all times, it is an absolute Amp whore.
If you are going to be running the 5404 at 100V, how many amps were you thinking? Just to emphasise, I have never run over 20S, and I think at 100V the Lyen 24 Fet starts to reach its limits, so you should check that with him if you pursue that controller.
