Cool! All I need it to do is for it to ramp up to speed. This motors full load speed is 4000 RPM. I'll have like a 3:1 pully reducer to connect it to the compressor. Its a brushed PM DC motor, not a series motor live the traction motor. So, it has lower torque. What might work good is to use the 5K pot input like on the standard controller, so I still have speed control in case I need to turn it up or down a little bit. All we need is say a 3-5 second ramp up to speed. I'm sure I can put together the output stage. I'll be very conservative on the ratings of components, so I get nice long life and no temperature issues.

Even though this can easily be done with the little 8s, if your going to standardize on the 16s for the PCB layout, lets just go with them. You can always sell 8s on EBay :^)
