I have a 24/36 volt motor with my controller set at max 260 volts in my
S10.Its has a 13in.dia.motor.I have been running it at 5450 rpm at the end of the
qt.mile(106mph),but I would not run it for a long time at these rpms especially
with lots of current. I have spent a fair amount of time and money however to
get it to that point. A junkyard motor would at least need rebuilding but
should go to 72 volts with ease. D Berube
