You will then have just about everything you need for the power section... You still need a heat spreader though... hmm... Do you have a drill press?
I'm planning on the 250v mosfets though, not the....wait, they are made by the same company, so they probably all get in at the same time! I didn't know how all that worked, like will I pay shipping twice, or....Aw heck, I'll place the order for EVERYTHING and see what happens......I have a really nice drill press ( I lie, it was given to me, and it throws chucks at me; not Chucks though, so that much is good). You know, I really just am itching to get the control board done and I'll worry about the power section later, cause I haven't pulled the trigger and got the caps yet (hmmm, bust a cap in my ***). OK, too much coffee. Hey, I shouldn't even be here, I should be shopping. You wanna know something funny? The battery was too low to start the car, so it's charging as I type! ICE's need battery love too, who woulda thought?
