Non RC controller

I guess it depends on what kind of vehicle you are looking to create. An e-bike that goes a max of 30mph will take a lot less power than a converted 2500lb car that can go 60mph+.

The Special Projects portion of Castle's site is more towards the e-bike level of vehicle. If you're looking for converting an actual car, you might want to PM ZeroPointBug as he is currently converting a truck and has already gotten the motor for it.

To tel you the truth, I really haven't decided. I'm thinking about a e-bike (thought up a few desings that would allow you to pedal and have a large outrunner motor and keep it under 35lbs) I was also thinking about a small car but really don't know what batteries I could use for it. The Castle controllers seem a little pricey and they don't exist yet, right?

I'm leaning more to something smaller, just because I don't have the cash right now to convert a 1:1 car.
