My plan is to buy the following Nissan Leaf Modules and use a 48V Orion Jr. BMS:

To distribute the weight more evenly, I will put 4 of the Leaf modules on one side of my go kart and 3 on the other (see picture below showing the planned placement). The set of modules on each side will be connected (in parallel) with 2 or 4 AWG wire running behind the seat.
I know there are less expensive options but I really want to run as much as 300A max current an many other BMS's do not allow it. Before I spend nearly $600 on the Orion Jr. BMS (link below), I have a simple question. What do you guys think? Is this a good idea? Thanks for any feedback you can offer.
