300A VESC in the works, feature suggestions wanted

I can't argue about the weight or size, but they are ultra reliable and can actually reduce surface area in other places if you do it right. Having the lugs laser cut to fit your PCB tracks means you can reduce their widths as the lugs are providing the current capacity from the FETs.

I am putting on laser cut copper plate a few mm thick for all the high current areas + 4oz copper on the pcb. Then the heatsink contacts with them through a thermal pad. Most of the heat will be dissipated through that. Which lets me put the FETs back to back and reduce the overall size of the board significantly.
