Re: Electrical Quick release after motor controller?

Some type of connector is recommended to allow fast replacement of damaged or defective sub-assemblies. As pointed out the Anderson 30 and 45 amp connectors are one of the best ways to do this. However, a simple design where the speed controller is mounted near the motor works well. Quick connects on the controller itself, allow shorter motor wiring and less opportunity for failures. We use 1/4" spade connectors on the controllers and Andersons if we can't position the controller and motor close to each other.
