I have about 3 builds running on the dual 4.20+ and I havenāt run into issues though many others will disagree. But the general consensus is that itās probably best to keep it under 30A
Keep in mind: itās never my first choice dual ESC but it works

I would suggest Maker-X over Flipsky for a budget setup.

In case anyone is interested, we are selling our Formlabs Form 3. It was used to prototype injection molded parts and now isint used much anymore.

Hey Jared,
Were these kitsā escs being shipped out before the duty cycle current limit start weirdness popped up? Or are these escs not affected by it? Got a local guy with a kit Iām trying to help setup. Thanks!
They are not running 5.X firmware so it shouldnāt be anything to worry about. If heās running 5.X it is not the stock firmware that we recommend sticking with
Got it, thank you. I woke up to a frantic slew of messages and I think he updated to 5.1. Was experiencing weirdness with full throttle so I told him to drop the duty cycle current limit start and it went away.
Could you share the default settings and FW version sent with that kit so I can get him set straight?

The kit still uses the VX1 right? Isnāt the low voltage display 32V there?
I canāt find a āmainā BKB thread and this seems to be the most recently updated one so ere goes:
Do you folks plan to have more stock of tayto deck + enclosures alone? Idk if itās a long dead line or unobtanium but it looks v cool
(Side note if anyone knows a small deck discussion type thread I couldnāt find one of those either)
Smaller deck discussion any good for ya?
This could be of interest to you? Same but different.

Any timeline on when weāll get to see an IRL Type R? The renders look nice, but itād be nice to get a better view.
Far as I can tell itās the same kit w a much better battery. Ostensibly that would mean a bigger enclosure or possibly 2 enclosures given the flex of the deckā¦
The 2 enclosures thing is what Iām interested in. The Type R battery is twice the size of the regular one, so sticking a second one in all that empty space up front would make sense.
There are a few prototypes in use currently. We even assembled a production unit for product photography. The reason renders were used is because we recently moved to NY and donāt have a studio set up yet. So we rented a studio and their lighting ended up being really shitty (for what we needed). The photos came out horrible so we had to resort to renders to release on time.

By the way, was the drop in battery capacity for the base model because of supply chain issues or because of less sag in the new cells removing the need for headroom?
