I agree given that this will be running for <30 sec at a time so I'll probably need to do some testing. I think the water jacket is removable so it may be possible to run it just fine for short periods without water cooling.

If I'm going to run it at the full 41V I also need to decide if I'm going to stick with my idea of using ultracapacitors instead of SLA batteries. 41V @ 229A is going to need a big set of caps to drive it.
