New hi-speed project

When I contact Castle about my concerns, they said it should be fine but I would be using it out of spec - so basically "at your own risk". However, they did say they could make me a special version with an additional FET layer to make a "HV-160". That would be crazy at 288A @ 25*C and 0.00042 ohms. At 75*C, it would still be 172A continuous.

IMO, they could conservatively rate the 3-layer HV-110 for 120A, and a 4-layer version for 160A. And that's at almost 170*F! Man, they should just slap a brains board with car software on it and call it the HV-MMM!

I wonder if thats possible...to put an MM brain board on otherwise an HV-110, maybe even double stack the HV-110 to make an HV-220.

150mph Truggy anyone?

HmmmmMM.... I wonder where they (and/or we) could get a board with car software to use?

EDIT: BP-Revo you scallywag!

I have some MOSFETs to run by Patrick and if he gives the OK, I'll buy them to put in my HV110 that I still have to send to them. My options for the MOSFETs looks like this: (75V, 45.8A cont. and 0.0133ohms), (60V, 30A cont. and 0.0092ohms)and (100V, 34A cont. and 0.023ohms). I might go with the 100V unit as they are in stock. I just have to see if Patrick can use them.
