    Thanks for the reply bro, what size do you reckon? Those motors apparently can draw up to 30a under heavy load, and where do I place the battery in relation to the power supply cheers

    cheers bro, I did get a couple of 25a diodes, but those look a bit beefier! I think there was a diagram in the forums for them
