have 2 fans and the controller seems to manage the summer heat.  I can pull
>400 amps when needed (my ammeter tops out at 400).  I'd like to have more
instrumentation from it and the low speed stall whine is a little
distracting at times.

My chief complaint has been caused by a combination of pedal safety (-
contactor opens when foot is off the accelerator) and the high pedal lock.
I can press the accelerator faster than the contactor closes and that means
the controller thinks that I've got a high pedal and won't start.  It's a
pain, but a good safety feature that's only an issue starting on hills (not
many around here ;).  I added an override button and that is working so
far.
