Well for my purposes you are right it is probably fine. I've just read these can motors can at stall or power up have a high transient peak ... when i've poked around looking for these voltage converters i've failed to find any that support, oh I dunno more than a few amps. Then again, what I should do is simply get one, use it and if there's a problem -- do something. I will add unexpertedly that the few motors I've played with do seem to run a tad better, especially on the low rpm side if the motor controller is high current.
