With good wiring layout and 10 AWG, you can get any of the FRC legal motor controllers to deliver momentary peak currents >100A to a room temperature CIM motor. See test results here.

The peaks don't reach 133A, but they get close in some tests -- duration of the peaks in other test conditions will depend on loading and on motor heating. I have not tried to kill speed controllers by stalling motors (yet).

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
