Most Powerful Controller Available ?????

That wasn't supposed to be a quote BTW

The phase wires can probably handle more than the motor windings, since they are bigger and have better cooling. The motor windings will probably fry first. It's still not a bad idea to oversize the phase wires to minimize losses, but you can't make them much larger where they go through the axle. Using wire with a higher temperature rating would be good through the axle.

A Sevcon controller will definitely be more robust than a Crystalyte. It's probably about 5 times more expensive too. If you can afford one, I don't think you'll be sorry.

Two controllers in parallel has been done before. It's real prone to blowing up though. If one switches a few nanoseconds before the other one, you can get shoot through (instant destruction). I think you'd have to tie the inputs to the gate drivers together to get the timing close enough.
