do you want just a basic mosfet that works with a microswitch, or do you want all the fancy features that most people think are cool but never use?

gate fets are ok if you have a lot of space (because they're huge) they do have some good features. Their pricing is not terrible.

The drawback is that the fet units they chose to put in their product have amperage handling in constant and peak draw is just barely adequate for most stock and mildly upgraded builds. The faster gearset and more powerful motor you go, the higher the amp draw at constant and even higher during initial startup spike. It's not uncommon to see amperage spiking near 100A on a tienly or lonex 13:1 build that settles back to around 20A.
