what might be easier is to design an 18FET output board and heatsink. then take the 12fet board, remove the fets and pass the drive signals from it to your new output board.
might also be a good idea to move the current shunt to the output board. somewhere else, i saw a thread where someone had done this with a different controller. i think that it was a brushed controller actually, but eh same basic idea would apply.
not sure if 18fets provide that much more advantage over 15. whichever side (high or Low) has the PWM signal needs fewer FETs. it is operating more efficiently than the side that is only being switched on and off.
but what the hey, bigger is better, right?
