Yah hehe, built in a similar fashion, but rated completely different I know! Example:

MM vs. the Quark controller

They use the very same FET's yet CC was wise enough, and not cheap to rate it at 3s lipo and 100 amps... Quark was TWICE cells rating and 25% higher current rating, and we all know that when both controllers are run on 4s lipo and same setup, they run pretty much the same temp, if not, the MM being cooler. And yes, the Quark has some higher voltage caps (a dollar extra cost IF that), so why does one controller cost twice as much as the next one? With the same, if not worse build quality, same core components, etc....

But, I can't complain too much, as my Quark is working wonderfully on 6s now.
