Look at the Kontronik. They don't have a heat sink. One of mine does and the rest doesn't. Joe said they will have a 60, 120, 180 and 240A versions. This would be fine for a car. My point is they could have gotten a hold of another market by simply adding a car mode to the controller. The only Kontroniks I know that is over 100A is the Power Jazz and those FIA controllers and they don't have a car mode. All the rest does and they work fine. I have a 30A Kontronik that I tried in my touring car a few years back and it ran perfect. If a HV system is set up perfect, it doesn't see spike of 120A+ anyways. If Castle adds a car mode it wouldn't hurt at all. They could benefit from it with sales to us car guys. BTW MGM's 9044 controller can be programmed with a car mode. This information was sent to me from Ing. Grisa Dvorsky. That is a 90A originally for Airplane that can handle 15S lipos. They have the Z series and the EXPERT + available.
