I remember calling A123 racing and talking to a tech about those boosters. Said they were only good for about 200-300 watts max - lower powered brushed motors only that need a little "kick".

Guess even they new that trying to do this in a high power system would require a really high current source and a huge converter array.

BTW - does anybody have a transcript of this thread? Look like Traxxas took it down.
