Andrew is also working on a car-sized controller...

Why does this pint size controller seem too good to be true. Seems kinda crude and it would def need bigger traces and some sort of heatsink and protection for it to be viable but its a good home brew approach.

Yeah definitely just for academic purposes. I'm sure it works just fine with a small motor.
