You can on the other DC contgroller I made. the identical twin to your AC controller. (3 600v 600amp igbts) I built in a programmable "max-motor-amps" variable. With the one you have, I think it could be done by changing the throttle range. Remember the 2 raw throttle values. Something like 409 and 714, where 409 was max throttle? You could change max throttle to a lower number, so that you were tricking the controller into believing it has a 10k pot instead of a 5k pot. Then, 5k (full throttle) would correspond to only 50% of the motor amps. But thats' only if you end up cutting out 5 of them. Let's wait and see how many have to be removed.
