A relay isn´t rated for 30 amp and will die from 32...it´s so many thousand opening closing cycles at rated current. So no need to go wild on this...

I love the build and just hate that rear axle. I got a quickchange with a full set of gearing if youre interested. Still have to be narrowed to fit.
