Was thinking about picking one of these up, but wanted to get a better feel for the size of it, so I modeled it up and 3d printed it out for fun.

Thereâs no banana for scale, but does seem to be one chonky boi

If anyone has one of these and I willing, to pop the top off of one, I would be interested in seeing the the guts of this thing. Especially since no dyno data or logs seems to have been published yet. It definitely seems nice but has little actual data.

That would be very interesting.
Iâm interested in seeing data for this controller as well.

I think this is the FET in question

380A rated, which makes it fukken ridiculous that they have 6 per phase on there 
My math might be wrong cuz this is 3 phase AC or whatever, but that would be 18W of thermal dissapation at 300A. Bonkers.

That 380A rating is theoretical though as it depends on the FET case being at 25°C which is impossible once it starts conducting current. Even the 287A âwhen hotâ current rating requires a huge cooling setup.
Without significant heat sinking youâre limited to about 35A-40A per FET for decently reliable operation and thatâs only if no others are nearby. Maybe 30A per FET âin a crowdâ. This is why they need six of them in parallel, to spread the heat and lower the overall thermal resistance to help keep the temperatures down.
Youâre right though, still lots of heat to get rid of!

So using this at near its rating will require exposing the case to airflow, at least. Good to know

Bit concered about those bulk caps. 100V rated for a 100V DC input 
Wont be alot of cap left in the higher end. Semi concered about the 105 C rating too 
Tbh, I rather pay a few bucks more if it means keeping the 25% voltage headroom on the caps.
Guessing the ceramics are 100Vâs as well?
Some headroom on the FETs would be great too.
Besides that, the power layout looks promising 
Looking forward to some bench tests

I mean. Not really 100v rated. Itâs meant for 20s (84v) packs, or a bit higher without Regen.

@YUTW123 its says on your page that it has phase filtering, are the shunts really phase shunts?
Looks very much like low side shunts to me (blue is the phase path)
Maybe Iâm being abit of an ass, but Iâd call it shunt filtering

It has phase filters and low side shunts.
Here is an example of phase filters from the vesc 6 mk5 schematic

Iâm familiar with the mk5 schematic, that does use phase shunts however.
The mk5 uses phase shunts, but phase filters can also be used on low side shunt designs.
The Stormcore and SKP Solo both use phase filters with low side shunts.
Phase filters - used for voltage sensing. Can be used on both phase and low side shunt designs
Current filters - used for current sensing. Should only used on phase shunt designs.

Ah, so youâre saying that the voltage sensing is still done on the phase node? Cause then I can accept the terminology. It makes sense, Iâve only seen the schematic for the filtering on phase shunts so I guess I assumed that the low side filtering was solely low side. But youâre actually refering to a voltage sampling done on the physical phase node then?
Since I come from a power electronics/electronics background a phase for me in this case, is a phase in/to the motor. So I hope you understand my reasoning.
Having a shunt low side and filtering to have better results in top or/and low end of sensing, has nothing to do with a phase to me. But I get it if thats what the function is called in the code, might just be me beeing a miticulous prick.
