The first ever electric car in the 24 hours of LeMons is going to use the Open Revolt controller! hurray! The rules are that the whole car has to cost less than $500, so I built him a controller for the cost of the parts. The chief editor of Motor Trend is going to personally inspect the car! "Wow, those end caps for the controller look like crap" Oh please please please... don't blow up, little controller. I'm not a professional controller assembler. He's using the 500amp version.
Here's some info about it:

I think he's going to race in August, but he's getting the car ready now. Here's his build thread:
