Has anyone tried upgrading the hardware of this motor/controller to beef this thing up?

Like upgrading the:

-Mosfets to IRF4410A, which should be compatible without swapping out other components, such as resistors.
(TSDZ2 uses 6x TK80E08K3)

-Capacitors to 100V 470uF caps from the 60V caps, for higher voltage /max speeds

-Add solder to shunt and traces on the PCB

-upgrade the wiring to a heavier gauge

-serious temperature control, somehow

-Open source Firmware (or other modified firmware) compatiblity

Would the motor just burn the f*ck up?

Any comments would be appreciated, I have some spare parts from these kits I want to play with
Cheers

My girlfriend and I each have the TSDZ2 on our bikes. There is open source firmware: emmebrusa - Overview I think the stock controller is capable of outputting more power than the motor can use without overheating. It may be that if you relocated the controller outside the motor housing to remove its heat from the system, and improved the motor cooling, you could run it at a higher wattage.

Have you read the giant threads here on the TSDZ2? Many many things have been discussed... However not many discussions on upping the voltage/current past the existing limits as far as I recall - because the main issue is heat. You can run at 60v+18A=c.1kW of power but unless you develop better mods than we have already to get heat out of the motor to the outside it's going to get too warm sooner or later...

Is this firmware any different from the OpenSource-Firmware v.04 I'm running?
 
Where does that OSF comes from? What display do you have?

All OSF versions has the same base, so almost the same functions
It depend which developer has made the OSF. (Casainho, mbrusa or mspider65)

How you can setup these depend on the display
For stock display you need to do this with a Java tool on PC (mbrusa) or an app with the bluetooth version (mspider65)
For other displays you can do this with the display (Casainho, mbrusa)
