The goal of this build was to provide more power than my FM motor, Little FOCer 3.1, 18s2p 50s build without overheating issues like I occasionally got with my Hypercore motor. The next step up in terms of power was to use Molicel P45B cells, but I didn’t want to lose range, so I opted for a 20s2p pack, and the best option seemed to be Indy Speed Control’s 20s2p Split Pack.
A Thor300 VESC was chosen because it was included with a controller box that could fit the split pack, and because it could handle the higher currents used by the Superflux motor without overheating. This was a fairly straightforward build, but was not 100% plug and play. Modifications were made to both the Funwheel Controller Box Complete and the 20s2p Split Pack wiring.

I’m also working on a new and improved guide based on the die-cast box:
This has been so valuable Goto11 thank you. I have a couple quick questions. How do you use the 90 degree blade fuse? Do you just have the entry wire and exit wire combined in the hole of the fuse? Did you use anything between the split pack battery and the Thor3000? They seem to be really close to each other.
I used right angle spade lugs on the blade fuse in the positive charge lead from the GX16-2 (negative may also work - anything to interrupt the circuit).
There was no need to further separate/isolate the split pack from the controller.
