Not sure if there's a different thread for this...but I was messing about with the simple mosfet this past weekend on a SAW/box mag. It's a very nice unit.

Just some very minor points:
1. As mentioned in your video...you'll want to open up the female spade connectors on the mosfet.
2. If you don't "pinch" the circuit board and the heatsink when you press in the spade connectors you can bend the mosfet chip (or more accurately it's wires)
3. It would be nice to lable the circuit board itselft with a simple G/D/S...it's in the video, but it'd be nice to have right there.
4. the male spade connectors are very long. Either don't push them in so far or trim them....because one is definitely long enough to touch another solder spot when pushed in. I'm not an electrician/etc...so I can't say what it'd do, but I didn't want to short anything.

I setup it up in a M60 w/motorized box mag running on a 11.1v 2000mAh 20C LiPo. Just working on the wiring so far and it's all good. I'm sure I had the wiring wrong the first try what with the extra circuits for the box mag and the variable resistor loop. I ended up simplifying the wiring layout and it works just fine.
