SUMMARY
The discussion centers on selecting a suitable controller for a 25kW DC brushless motor, specifically a sensorless model with three cables. Participants recommend considering a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) for controlling the motor, emphasizing the need for a controller that can supply three-phase power at variable frequencies. Resources provided include links to VFD options on Alibaba and Google searches for 25kW VFDs. The motor's application is primarily for testing rather than drone use, which influences the choice of controller.
