That's odd. I contacted Castle about using the HV-110 in my GTP and they said it should be fine. The HV-110 has 108 FETs total, and each one is rated 60v/12A/0.010 Ohms. If 18 are on at any one time on each motor phase (actually, 36, but 18 are used for the + and 18 for the -), that's 216A! Pulse rating of these FETs is much higher, but depends on how long the pulse lasts. Not sure how the regular Phoenix's rate, but I would imagine they are built similarly.
Anyway, I too think the 60 is a little too small IMO for a MT...
