In brushed mode about 100A for forward/reverse (and that's a REAL 100A continuous, not a BS 20 millisecond rating like "Brand N" would give you.) The limitation is really from the 10ga wire -- 100A is about the limit for a single 10ga.

A good quality brushed motor will melt at about 40A continuous, and will really only handle about 25A or so on a continuous basis... so you should be OK with up to 3 540 size motors in parallel.

In high power mode, you should be able to run a little over 200A continuous (remember - - Amps doesn't scale linearly because of the I^2 losses...)
