Lol, well i ran my 4110 9FET at 36A, 15-25A constant inside a topeak bag & a falconEV bag for a long time and never got it to blow up, sometimes even ran it harder than that. I think you'll be ok :)

You're gonna run the 10T... well, that is not a very amp hungry motor. If you're gonna run it on a 26" wheel at 36v, it will barely get the controller warm-hot unless you are climbing mountains for miles. Then it may get sorta hot.

But if you up the voltage, you'll be running more amps continuous... so..
How many volts you gonna run? what's your target speed?

The girlfriend bike: 350W front MAC on a 700c Trek.
The wheelie machine: 20" Rear Magic Pie II on a Trek 4300 MTB
The Bus: ??? on a 'da bomb' cargo bike frame

Pro-tips for noobs: Avoid BMS Battery like the plague | Charge RC Lipos to 4.15v, stop discharging at 3.5-3.6v | Use torque plates/arms! | Rear mounted hubs are always best

I'll be running a 48v 15Ah Ping, most likely flat out at 25mph on relatively flat ground.
A couple of biggy hills, but will provide bags of human effort on these.
The Ping is being custom split and fits nicely into a FalconEV frame bag.
This will leave a space at the front end for the controller.
The bag has a fabricated opening in the front, so maybe this will provide a little forced air induction to keep the controller temp down.
Attaching a Cycle Analyst, so could turn the current flow down a little if things get too warm, but seems a bit daft fitting a 30A controller if I aint gonna use them mules :lol:

The front slat of the falconEV bag doesn't really take in any air. You'll want to crack the front of the bag open a little ( it has 2 zippers, so no prob. )

One option is to get the 3xxx FET 9FET controller which is only capable of a max voltage of about 60v.. it produces a lower amount of heat & is a bit more efficient than the 4110 FET controllers ( capable of up to about 90v ). You'll need to crack the front of the bag open to give it a little cooling in the summer, or during extended length rides. Run it at a maximum of 25A, and it will be pretty easy on the ping battery, and should have a really great thermal headroom :).

Get a programming cable and header with the controller and tune it down a bit. cell_man's controllers tend to have a little more juice than expected in my experience.
