    By acceleration you mean torque or thrust? The actual acceleration will greatly depend on the amount of load.
    Acceleration is the cause, speed is the effect. There is no effect without a cause.

    First, you need torque to get things moving. If you don't have torque, you are not going to have speed either.

    It is a balancing act, but you can throw speed out the window if you don't have the acceleration to reach that speed in time.

    thanks for the reply frakk
    I know about torque and thrust
    It,s a driver question/ the fasted acceleration time from zero to top speed takes 0.187 sec
    this gives 0.15G and scn5 make 1G acceleration unloaded

    You are asking a lot with being cheap, high amps, and current limiting there... :D
    I'm not familiar with such a controller.

    Your google search is just as good as mine.

    Anything is possible, but I don't think you want to do that. You would be creating more problems to solve one.
