That's good news. Using many FETs makes sense. Not only does this increase current rating, but also reduces heat simply because the cumulative paralleled Rdson values makes a smaller resistance (less V drop). As long as traces are large enough to handle the current and there is sufficient way to shed the heat that does form, it all sounds good. IMO, a large-ish ESC doesn't bother me as long as it smaller than a Schulze.

If both Tekin and CC produce 6s ESCs at around the same time, the buying decision comes down to comparing current handling, programmability, and smoothness.
