300A VESC in the works, feature suggestions wanted

[overkill]

A potted case is a REALLY bad idea! I tried that on a number of IFI Victors a few years ago and they all eventually died. It was traced back to the potting resin expanding at a different rate to the PCB and causing solder joints to crack. A thin conformal coating is a better bet. Room to add our own shock mounts is a good idea.

Good to know! Its probably best to not have any coating then to make it easier to replace parts.

As for pricing I don't want it to be over £300 current BOM is ~£120 + board.
