12AWG should do fine under 90+% of use-cases.

I don’t know of a software fix, and the underlying cause (BEMF going through the body diodes of the FETs) is pretty much unavoidable. I’d say just leave the esk8/vesc on while you kickpush, or physically disconnect the motor wires, or the drive belt.

Yep should be fine
But easier to solder 14awg if I would get away with it
If we are doing 70 motor amps how much would each phase take

I’m not sure exactly how vesc tool’s motor current measurement is set up, but I would guess it’s using RMS current, which is 1/(√2) = ~0.707. The only way to know for sure is to actually take an amp meter and measure it though.

personally have not use that one before, but u need a latching switch for that
“official” claim: 12s 100a
but u know how the math work

Thanks
Anyone know what is considered a reliable anti spark these days
Maybe 100 real amps

Whenever I ask this the main answer I get is “Amass XT90s”
And if it’s well over 100A then I guess Amass AS150
Reliable?
How about a loopkey for $10?
Fancy?
Now you’re talking about active electronics and added cost and maybe increased failure rates

Yes I am a huge fan of that. It’s very well done.

I have a solution if u stay less than 18s, but it’s fucking massive
