There is actually a chunk missing of the case from where it was shorting.
Here is a graph of controller operation before I found the short.
You can see that current is in the range of 133A with 0 throttle....Something wasn't right.
Well once I found the short, and corrected it, I took the car for a ride. It went great for about 5 minutes. The I heard the dreaded pop. I look back at the controller and there was some smoke. ...
