A simpler alternative to VESC? Interest?

They dont have an OEM that does ESC and CNC trucks lol. Like always, just multiple OEMs* doing multiple things, with some offering custom designs, or just their manufacturing. but I do believe most of them share the same ESC, like they always did before.

but yea, I agree on the BF stuff. pointing out that the max 150kv from acedeck, the 140A from backfire, and other things here and there fit the description of that ESC that fujio gave us

Huh? All of the mentioned figures so far have been combined phase amps

I don’t believe that’s always true for the marketing of different companies. The 70 amp own board ESC had a pretty decent amount of power off the line. No way that’s 35 motor amps. I know what 40 per motor feels like and it’s a whole lot less than that

Mhm, so Acedecks 50A/90A are per motor as well?
Because the Nyx I tried sure launches harder than any other prebuilt board so far.

If only we could test all these on a dyno haha :thinking:

Probably. 90 motor amps with very little throttle ramping feels really powerful. Especially with low kv motors

I saw a clip of @pjotr47 (I think) accidentally doing a wheelie and falling.

yea I filmed the video lol. credit to him he committed. And he did it just before that video, without falling.

it definitely is a combination of good motor/battery config, and little throttle ramping on the low end, but i dont mind it. it only does that in S+, and personally i love it. its not jerky Evolve style, and in the other modes it ramps up normally. but either way, good fast acceleration is good fast acceleration. if youre able to keep your weight forward its all good. its the bindings that make the board follow your foot and weight upwards. if you can’t handle an acceleration of any board with bindings, the front will come up.

Bingo. I was thinking the same thing. The current the battery can generate is waay lower than the ESC claims it puts out. Plain deceptive.

I ordered one of the 100amp units or testing. I will pair it with a pair of 6355 140kv Flipsky motors and see how it performs. I will be posting pics and more infor as it becomes available.

I’m not sure if it’s possible with the low radio traffic in HI, but if it comes with a remote please try and test signal integrity. Pretty much any Chinese esk8 that comes with a hobby wing or lingyi has disconnect issues in places like NYC.

That’s what Waikiki is for (other than tourism). This is the area that is famous for getting remote to have issues with signal.

Is there a way I can more formally test signal integrity? I have a bunch of different remotes. It would be intersting to make a chart of signal integrity/strength.

Eh, I still rather we improve the open source option of VESC.

A future where DIY uses a black box controlled by a small few sounds whack and against skate culture

I’ll support this side of the discussion until I’m dead.

ā€œblack boxā€ design and mentality dies with sk8 culture.

Correct. Form standstill crazy torque. But after ±5km/h you feel less torque. At 25/30km/h much torque is gone :slight_smile:

@fujio001 how’s this project going anyway?

Testing has been delayed. I have a Mboards Endurance coming that has the heat sink drilled for the new ESC. I will start testing after it arrives.
