Looks like my solution at the time was reloading the VESC firmwareā¦ Already did that 4 times because even running PWM only runs on side 2 and gives the āold firmwareā shit on side 1

Thats also the reason why i haven updated my board in months. My firmware is 3.52 with vesc tool 1.08 i think from around March. Never got rid of that message but once i got it i never touched it again.
Sticking with a known quantity? I already deleted the older toolā¦ Just the 1.25 version now 
saved most of them. You never know

I managed to sleuth 1.16 out of the interwebs, but does anyone have 1.15?
Does anything bad happen if you downgrade the firmware?
Shouldnāt be i assume. You just downgrade and set it up from there. Basically a factory reset.
Wanna zip those files and email them to me?

You know what Brian, I think Iām just an idiot who anāt solder for shit.
Cut off the mt60ās and no more popping sounds or sparks, all lights do as normal now. Looks like I was shorting the phases lol. Donāt think I killed it completely.

How much thermal improvement can I expect from this MakerX? If you see above posts, I am thermally limited on hill climbs with a TB4.12 esc. I am running 6374 single drive. Other recommendations?
MakerX Mini FOC PLUS ! 50A
It is optimized and modified by the famous open source project VESC project. It is compatible with VESC TOOL, mini-model, ultra-light and thin volume design, with heat dissipation shell and only 605012 in length and width. It can beā¦
Price: USD 125.00
I donāt know of much testing thatās been done on the MakerX ESCs but Iād love to hear your results if you try them.

I am ready to buy something, but I donāt know enough to know if this is a worthwhile upgrade. I am sure the heat sink will help, but not sure how much. I am also not sure if there is an advantage of 6.6 over 4.12.
How much are you pushing through the TB4.12 to get it to throttle? Single drive is a tough spotā¦ lots of load all in one place. Iād even get my FSESC 6.6 to throttle after pushing 50A through it to a 6384 for a few minutes. I expect the makerX wonāt like 50A put through it for any extended period of time eitherā¦ but no one has given that a shot yet as far as I know.
The only single drive I have that doesnāt throttle (well, very very rarely) is the OG FOCBOX on the TB6380 motor. The OG FOCBOX throttles on other motors in my experience. Not sure why. Maybe a motor expert can chime in.
