The little 8 pin chips that the speed controller uses are the MOSFETs. Each chip contains a pair of MOSFETs, one N channel, and one P channel. Most people parallel a bunch of these chips by soldering them on top of one another to maximize their current capability. Instead of doing that, I am using much higher current devices that replace the chips with two MOSFETs each. These devices give the same or better capability as stacking up 10 of the small chips, which would be both unwieldy and not really possible where the board is located, even if you were to flip it over (the driveshaft ends up in the way). The small board will probably be attached to the roof of the car, like the light module is.
Obviously, with this setup, you won't be able to run the light module, but if you are really going for maximum performance, you aren't running the lights to begin with.
