It would be harder to build, and more expensive... But we could get rid of the heat sink, use an external cap, etc -- and make something really small for the racers.

What do you think?
I have 3 high Kv micro motors that needs a good esc as most I've used don't seem to work well. I'm running a Recoil with the 7500Kv version using the Tekin R1 (Sorry from bringing them up) and I'm looking for something really small to pair them with. I've noticed there are a lot of new MOSFETs available and some are very small. I like this one http://www.irf.com/product-info/data...rf6713spbf.pdf and it could be possible to make a 40A, that's all I need. Oh and a handheld programmer with an integrated CastleLink would be nice too.

Won't be anytime real soon -- I'm working on the MMM 8S and 12S controllers now... But give me a couple months...

I can wait. The motors will take a month or so to get done, but it could be longer if delays comes up.

Any news on the 12S controllers?

I could not find a dedicated thread about them.

I really want to use one of these to power a 1/5 scale car.
