Hey Yan,
"If the motor is OK, then get yourself a PWM controller, pot it in your
choise of goo, and have at it. Virtualvillage.com had 30A PWM controllers
for soemthing like $20 one time...
Here's one from QKits. The heat sink might be a bit of a challenge if you
want to pot it."
Thanks for the idea. I believe you have discovered Plan B.

Hey Jong,

using the motor, throttle, etc.) I'm now assuming the problem is the PC
board."
That's right. My plan is to find the problem with the board. Then come
back
to the group and come up with a way to protect the component or group of
components that continually fail. If that doesn't work then it's off
to plan
b. I'm not sure what that is yet.
This is a pricy unit and I would hate to see my friend lose his
investment.
