i used to put 20A fuses in mine, the speedos took it fine and still run ok. I tend not to bother with fuses, mainly for reason Ed mentioned. They always seem to go when your really pushing your robots limits, and when your fighting at an event for a cash prize its worth taking them out and pushing your robot that little bit harder as a fuse always goes when the components have a little me left in them! Only fuse I run with is inline with the batteries at the batteries maximum discharge current but only as Im using LiPos. Although they are very usefull for testing.

Fuses

first mod i make when using electronize 15A, is to swap the fuses for 25A or 30A versions.
They still pop before the controller does, but much less often than 15A fuses.

where in my circuit do i put my fuse, before the speed controller on the + wire on the batt?

Yes, Preferably as close to the battery as possible to minimise a short circuit with a damaged wire before the fuse.
