That one is ridiculously expensive. They have much more affordable options.
14S 60V 200A ($189)
12S 50V 120A ($100)
With proper cooling, it might be a viable ESC for esk8. Am I missing anything? I guess you’d have to use a PPM remote?

Looking good 
not sure how they manage the temperature at high amps with this layout, however curious to see one in function!
The pricing of the biggest unit tho

I guess the “hv pro” series has like a quad stack of PCB’s. One for each motor phase, and one control PCB. They would have to be able to pass heat from the center most FET’s, outwards. If I had money to burn I’d be all over these. I’m curious how the F series would perform with a fat heatsink- especially that $99 one. I’d just add big caps to it.

They run trapezoidal control.
It boggles me that they went through all the effort to run a fast-decay with zero current commutation and didn’t implement FOC.
Because in order to get that right you need to do a bunch of phase angle calculations.
Since these are designed for propeller applications, the regenerative braking might get hairy.

From the site:
Continuous rating is defined as max sustained current at 100% throttle for 60 seconds with 33 m/s airflow.
So the answer is a ton of airflow, much faster than what we would go at.

I’m pretty sure that’s without a heatsink.
Yeah, but it makes sense in an aircraft
Yes.
These have been up for discussion before.
Think they were even more prohibetly expensive in the past.
They do use 8 layer PCBs, which is a cost increase but not by alot.
Not sure if I agree mounting the Fets belly to belly, will gimp thermal performance alot. will yeild smaller formfactor tho.
