Re: removable controls mofule

We're considering doing this too. I think it might be wise to leave the screw connections for the motor side of the speed controllers, and have the battery connector, power switch (main breaker), and power panel mounted to the removeable module.

If you want to have disconnects for the motors, there are smaller Anderson connectors, also look into what the R/C folks use for quick disconnects for batteries for electric cars, which have to handle current loads similar to the motors we use.
