  Electrical & Controls

  • Always include a main fuse or circuit breaker between battery and controller.
  • Use correct wire gauge for current (e.g., 50 A peak → 6–8 AWG).
  • Secure connectors, use shrink tubing, and isolate high-voltage lines.
  • Implement fail-safes: kill switch, brake cutoffs for throttle, and temperature monitoring.
