the point I was making, as I am a retailer of electronize speed controllers (although I have to admit that I do not sit in their factory watching them build my order.... wonder how many customers they do that for?) is that, as Philip said, the controllers are capable of more than 30A. In fact, the single direction versions are rated at 40A as the relay is the component setting the 30A limit. (did you know that JC?) So, my advice, is that if you need less than 30A, it is easy to put a fuse in, but if you want to use the full potential of the controller, dont. Worst case it blows (in a fight no more deadly than the fuse blowing) and you send it back for repair. The only time I would reccommend using fuses in a combat robot is if you know the repair is more expensive, you have no spares, or as in some cases, you do not know what you are doing and get other people to wire them up for you.

so, do I get my stuff back JC? or will you send back the money I gave you for it? Just wondering... you could alway return one of the e-mails I sent you to keep the discussion off the forum...
