Re: Speed controllers....

Its been my experience that the IFI speed controllers are pretty robust. We've done a lot of stupid things over the years and not had too many issues with the IFI parts. Are you sure you are not doing something wrong in how you are using/connecting the speed controllers?

One thing that is a source of failures is for metal chips to get inside and short out the speed controller. Is it possible that you have been generating chips too close to your speed controllers?

Maybe if you explain how the failures are occurring it would be possible for people in the forum to give more specific help.
