MrBungle, thanks for your response.
I knew that the BLDC controllers would no way handle the F&P motor as themselves. Thats why i said i would build a external H bridge circuit powerful enough for the motor. The H-bridge circuit is controlled by the BLDC controller.

As for the 0.1ms to 0.2ms pulse thing, i can get around that too, just build a square wave generator. Wont be too hard.

I bet the schulze controller rated at 5kw would die if you connected it up to the F&P. You always see speed controllers with bs ratings, like 120A contious current flow. Thats the equivilant of 4awg wire and the controller has 14awg wire coming out of the case. Go figure. All the ratings that are given are simply theoretical values that are lifted off a data sheet.

I might try it one day, bit to busy atm though.
