    Looking forward to this. FWIW, despite loving compactness as much as anyone, I'd rather have a big ESC that can handle this kind of demand for real (my weapon motor peaks over 300a, though VESC-level efficiency should rein that in). 20% bigger but 20% better thermals is totally worth it at this point. I'm very bored with ESCs that just can't.

    Let me know if you need a test system that will happily murder ESCs on demand!

    Ok I will make it a bit bigger then, would you object to a small fan to let me push it to the limit? Since these fets are also much much cheaper I could bump up to a 36 fet design again for a £45 increase in BOM cost to £150. That would handle 400A with a 100W dissipation on each phase. At 300A its 50W per phase.
