Oh, on a separate note, evidently it's bad to solder in optocouplers where the mosfet drivers should go. I did that today and the car amazingly didn't work! So I took the whole friggen pile out of the dang blasted car and took the whole dang friggen controller apart and discovered that the mosfet driver board had optocouplers soldered in instead of the mosfet driver. Man I'm a friggen idiot. It took forever to cut all the legs off and suck all the solder out but I did it and now it works! I drove for a couple miles and even did some weenie acceleration tests. It has good acceleration, even while taking it easy. The baseplate wasn't even warm after a couple mile drive, so I don't think I'll need a heatsink. I have a controller!!! I haven't had a controller for over a year!
