My observations aren't very scientific, but I think it's a fair of Greg to wonder how the Jaguars will hold up to FIRST use; As far as I know, there is little to no data available on them being tested. Also, the Victors seemed to be substantially higher quality than similar lines of motor controllers; I hope this quality is mirrored in the Jaguars.

Ah, I misinterpreted Gregs post as the Jaguars would be running at 60 amps continuous not the 'transients' that will (not might) exceed 60 amps.
And I agree that we shall see how well the Jaguars will hold up when the CIMs pull 130 amps at stall (until the breakers trip).
