The Phoenix ICE HV-160 is just about ready for release, and that should do just about anything small like the above picture... 50V, 160A maximum.

That's about 8kW of power -- over 10hp.

And it's a beast -- we ran one on the bench at 240A for two minutes before it went over-temp and shut down.

so if the one mentioned is capable of 8kw of power, how much is the one at the top of the page capable of?


1. MBX-6 T8 1900KV, RX8 ON 4S
2. MBX-5T 1520, MMM ON 5S
3. MBX-5 ONROAD CONVERSION 1515, MMM ON 5S
4. MRX-3 ON ROAD CONVERSION 1512, MMM ON 6S
5. TEN T 2650 T8, MMP ON 3S

If it can handle 90V @ 200A that's 18,000 watts. Put a fan on the ESC to help keep it cool and you'd better be holding on to something when you put the coals to it because that's 24 HP.


All I ever wanted was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.

I need more power, or at least want it. I am planning on about 370 pound vehicle with rider onboard.

That looks like it might replace the Jeti SPIN200 on my Baja, is it going to have car programming?

NVM found the answer on the Hydra thread. Looks like you are going to release car software. ETA on car software?

Will the SHV 200 controllers be able to be daisy chained? If so what exactly will that enable?

I would guess to increase current output or to allow multiple motors to be driven from one throttle signal input while maintaining sync.

I hope it will be able to do both of those things, would be useful features.
