ohhh lol
When playing around with the vesc tool, you should have options for āremote ramping timesā or something that sounds like that under your remote settings. Not sure what Vesc tool names it specifically.

Seem to be having a hell of a time with the VESC tool the last few days. I have version 1.25 and it keeps telling me the firmware on my VESC is too old. Even when I update it, then switch over to the other side of the Dual Vesc, I run the update on both, then try to do the setup for input and it tells me the firmware is too old.
Has nothing to do with 1.25 specifically. I had it with every Version of the vesc tool since 1.02 i think.

Do you have issues with it disconnecting whenever you try to use the Can forwarding button too? I still canāt get both of my motors to respond to my controller. Thought maybe this was the key to it.
Not sure, its been a few months because once i got it set up, i never touched it again. Took me roughly 3 hours to get both vesc to communicate with each other.

What a nightmare -__-
Have you tried powering down after updating and waiting 10-15 seconds and then plugging power source back in?
Donāt waste your blood pressure just download Acks

On what version of the VESC tool is ack currently based on?
Key benefits of ack vs ben?
Tell me moreā¦
@ADrum707
Everything is explained here and itās a great alternative to the og tool
As to how or why it works, 
ā¦it just does. Asking might break it 
please donāt break it

your efficiency and acceleration got worse when you lowered the gear ratio (more motor current for the same thrust)

with lower voltage youāll be drawing more battery amps for the same acceleration/motor current, but the motor efficiency works out to be the same when you lower the voltage. you could even say lower battery voltage makes your board more efficient in wh/mi because you canāt go as fast.

Is it ok to have different size trucks on the same board? 11inch in the back, 9 inch in the front

It definitely is. With wide trucks on the back, you might hit the wheel if you ever try to kick push or footbrake, be careful.
You have to overlap the middle two wires (see the picture you posted above - itās done correctly). Basically the final connector should have N+1 wires, where N is the cell count in series. So a 6s balance connector has 7 wires, and a 12s has 13 wires. Obviously 7+7 is 14, not 13, so you need to either drop one wire or stuff two wires into one position in the JST. Basically the 7th (last) wire on pack 1 and the 1st wire on pack 2.

Question about my power switch. It is always lit up whether the board is on of off. What do I check first?
@Adamskate Is it part of an antispark? If so check heat from the mosfets, you probably have one that blew
Haha started to take off the enclosure and it went off. I think I was just in too much of a hurry and didnāt realize there was some pressure on it
