With the overheating, is there any room to install cooling fans? I used to get through controllers roughly yearly, but since I installed two cooling fans the last one lasted 2 1/2 years.
Nice legs!
And both those type of tyres will fit the stock rim of the Storm 4 Xplore OK?

Just out of interest, on the inside those two blocks are solid aluminium and the Mosfets attach directly to them
I can't argue with John, but I will say that on a long run my rudamental temperature sensor (that I installed on the surface of the controller) reading increases until I turn the fans on, then the temperature goes down. My sensor doesn't report an accurate reading of the temperature inside the controller, it's just indicative that the temp. is rising, and the fact that turning the fans on makes a difference if that makes sense?

I can take a stone cold brushless chair, drive it up to say a 2 inch curb till it touches it, and stop. Then try to drive towards it. Within 1 to 2 seconds, it will roll back power from a massive 190 battery amps, down to around 25. You go nowhere. All power is lost.
Likewise, from cold. I can go to any carpeted room, zero turn left by say 10 degrees. Then right. Then left. And by the time you have done this 5 or 6 times, same thing. No power. No movement. No use to anyone.
The power module still feels cold.

Again NOT due to heat but to protection software. And again, the thing should NOT require almost 200A to turn an empty chair on the spot quickle to begin with. Its faulty by design.Likewise, from cold. I can go to any carpeted room, zero turn left by say 10 degrees. Then right. Then left. And by the time you have done this 5 or 6 times, same thing.
