It's a brushless motor, the controllers are extremely efficient even at part throttle.

I'm all about commercial off the shelf hardware. So having something like the Maestro which is already configured to accept 0-5v inputs and control servos is very appealing. The question is whether it's code is strong enough for closed-loop boost control.
For my particular set-up I'm likely to be using MS3 in a parallel install for STR rules (MX-5, I'm just here for the e-charge). So I might be able to use it's native boost control to drive the Maestro as a 0-5v output.
