Are you going dual
So I took the can off of my motor because I thought I broke something and I got it back on and it doesnt spin straight. How do I fix this? EDIT: I figured out why its not straight but I cant get it straight. When I tighten the bolts holding the can to the shaft it seems to make the can off kilter by a tiny amount. At that point is it even a problem?

Thx but doubled checkedā¦itās definitely paid status. Sent msg a few days agoā¦maybe something else is going on. Iāll give it some more time.
Can contact them via chat support on the site too, my order was held up because of back-ordered motors (was going for 170kv) they suggested/agreed to swap them for in stock motors and give me the difference back in price which I was cool with to get my parts quicker.

Donāt think soā¦ I posted links to the 2 escās Iām considering.
Thx Iāll try that next
The customer reviews on the Maytech are just screenshots of posts from longhairedboy/Damon on the forum here hahaha.
If I were choosing between these two would go with the Maytech. Maytech isnāt really known for quality but they have been making VESCs for a bit longer at least and it appears the one you linked has quite a few upgraded components (USB-C, dedicated ADC for BEMF measurement etc.) not to mention the good marks from our benevolent leader here 
Flipsky I believe is a spin off company from HGLRC that used to make just quadcopter components and now is making full quadcopters and their āflipskyā branding appears to be all geared towards esk8 but they are a new brand in this particular arena (some experience making ESCs and controlling brushless motors so they arenāt entirely new to the game but they are new to this niche). I have high hopes they will do better over time but so far havenāt heard much but problems about their variants of the VESC (they make a clean built quadcopter).

I think Iām gonna go with the Maytech then - the extra features are definitely worth the extra $11 per.
Only problem is mounting themā¦ theyāre long as hell lmao.

Just heads up too Iāve typically bought from torqueboards/diyelectricskateboard.com myself and know they are in the midst of getting a vesc 6 variant established and starting to test them I think so if you arenāt in a huge rush it might be worth waiting to see what the price and performance on that looks like compared with other vesc 6 based options out there.

Interestingā¦ Itās getting too wintery to skate now, and itāll probably stay that way till at least april, so Iām in almost no rush at all 
Might be worth waiting to see what TB comes up with, although Iām also hopeful for some good black friday pricingā¦

In terms of dual vescs, is a CAN connection better, or is a PPM splitter better for redundancy?
Also, is the maytech anti-spark any good? And would I need one antispark for both escs, or one each?

Dual vesc gives you the option of ātraction control.ā If you dont want that you can use two receivers on the same remote for redundancyā¦ You only need one anti spark for both escs
Iām not going to say what I think is better, but my last 2 motor build was neither of those. It was Dual PWM instead of Split PWM. So, like I said, not gonna say what I think is better. But it might be a fair bet that the way I make mine is likely to be the way I think is better.

Have you looked into a loopkey, and decided on an antispark, or have you not looked into using a loopkey?
One of either will power both ESCs.

So if I understand correctly, thatās two independently bound receivers? Interesting 3rd possibilityā¦
I really like the push-button start that my current setup has, so antispark is probably my method of choice.

Yes
It keeps the two motors with in a determined erpm. So if one motor loses traction it will not spin up faster than the one that has traction. If it works has been argued, I believe it does tho.
