Lutach, why only 12s on a 100v FET? Even generously allowing for back-EMF pulses, that is still at least 20s. I wonder if the limiting factor of your 75v FETs is the other components (caps, etc)?

At any rate, for your typical 12s setup, the 60v FETs are fine IMO. And the ones you have access to seem quite a bit better than the ones currently in the HV-110 as far as the current, on resistance, and switching time goes. You'd only need one or two layers instead of 3 (of course, more won't hurt ).
Don't the controllers have a watchdog that knows if a voltage is higher then what they can actually take? I know my Schulze 40.160 will arm at exactly 60 volts and nothing more and they use a MOSFET of the same voltage as the ones my controllers will have. If Patrick can change the MOSFETs for the 100V units and I can use higher voltage, then it will be a plus. I wish they could've done the HV like the MGM with the brainboard in the middle and if you wanted more power just stack the powerboards. Kind of like a hot swap set up.
