I'm long done with stinky diapers
How about "ReVolt 1800"

There is one capacitor that needs to be added to the board (grr), but it's easy enough to include it by soldering it to 2 caps that are already on the board.
Do I need to add a cap to mine? If so please send me a part number and a photo of where it needs to be.

... the 3 IGBTs aren't cheap anymore. There are some Littelfuse igbts that are rated for 400amp and are fairly cheap from Mouser ($150 each). The 600amp powerex modules are like $300 each. dang it.

400 amps x 3 = 1200 amps.
Right now my controller is set so motor amps peak at 1000amps. It makes a fun to drive conversion even with the heavy pickup frame. IMHO the 400 amps IGBT's would be a sound choice unless you are building a car to race.
