Update; I just received a set of EV motors, and am almost at the stage of mounting them in the tank. I have a few questions concerning EV motors though for people who know about them. Im planning to run them off 24 volts.
Id like to know what rating on the fuse and relays people use, as the datasheet claims a stall current of over 100 amps. Id like to know how many Ah the batteries should be. Lastly, do i need the ev wiring harness or do the tabs accept standard sized crimp connectors?
