Hah, yup, RWs :) Interesting housing... looks like it was sintered? Metal or some kind of impregnated epoxy?

Do those controllers have electrolytic bulk capacitors on the back sides of the boards or are you using that 2x4 array of ceramics?

No electrolytics, just ceramics. Depends on your battery + wiring impedance, but for most circumstances I haven't found electrolytics to be helpful.
