I'm not going to, at least at the moment, as I don't have a Dc motor.
Just don't regen more than the DC motor consumes otherwise this thread might end up in the unicorn corral.

Not sure how it all works out. I sent the 6 IGBT's (US$360) and an additional US$500 your way but that was before you knew all the costs.
Let me know what it all works out to once you find out the shipping costs and i will send more cash if required. I will PM you my address to work out shipping.

I wonder what is going to be more expensive, shipping to Canada or shipping to Australia?
Will it be the size or the weight that determines the cost?

I am still in the middle of my EV conversion so shipping delays should not be a problem, the slowest and cheapest boat will do.
