Well I ended up replacing the hacksaw blade field reduction resistor with a long section of heavy guage wire and sucess!
I now can hit 38mph on flat ground with a slight tail wind, 35mph is reliable under most conditions and 33mph into the wind on a slight incline.
Trouble is my amps are around 125amps at 33mph into a headwind up an incline and about 100amps at 38mph with this new resistor.
I really wish a decent variable field reduction schematic would be made, depending on the situation more or less field reduction works better.
Cheers
Ryan
