Oh mama. So far so good. Is that with 100 motor amps for max throttle? What voltage is that at? Did you turn the hardware overcurrent trip point clockwise? You could program the motor amps to something like 500 or 600 and take a leasurely drive around the neighborhood. haha. Don't forget that there is sure to be a heating issue if the base plate isn't mounted to something that can carry the heat away. It may be fine for a while. I honestly don't know how much time it wlll take to heat up. It does have a temperature sensor which should save the day.
