I'll need a controller for my Hybrid Pickup Truck Project. 1000 amps would be good. I STILL don't have the actual motor yet, but I have a junkyard friend keeping his eyes open. I'm hoping for a 13" forklift motor.

This would be direct coupled to the rear axle (via the driveshaft) so I'll need LOTS of AMPS!
