u mean the loopkey is sticking out facing the ground? yes better not do that

It’s better to make the loopkey the female part.

What does a vesc do differently once you hit the battery voltage cutoff start? limit current and speed?
It slows down all current drain, so u accelerate slower, it takes forever to hit top speed. That’s what I observed, maybe there are other things happening also

yes thats what i mean. noted. I have some other vertical xt90s but ill be putting silicone or even jbweld so it shouldnt be a problem making those vertical.
yes my loop key is female, oops
Probably not the best solution

this isn’t about how it’s used, typically or otherwise. this is about how it works.

How bad are Tenkas? I have the chance to buy one for 70$, would use it on a 12s street board
someone pay me 70 bucks to take it and i still don’t want it, that’s how bad it is

You would be throwing away $70 that you could use towards a quality controller that will last you years.

A Tenka is a Unity with half the mosfets removed… assuming they are the same fets that’s effectively half the power, or twice the heating at the same power level.
The controller is really the heart of the skateboard, but if it’s all the budget allows then keep it below 50-60A IMO

Yeah. I’ve researched the forum on this topic but wanted more input. Currently running a xenith on my MTB but I want to build a street board/carver which shouldn’t require that much power. 70$ looked appealing compared to 300± for top brands
What’s the main difference between the makerx dv6 and d60? Is it mainly just 120 vs 160 amps and the phase filter removal on the d60?
and also built in AS

i think the hardware is still there, its just not to use it as suggested by makerx since it seems to interfere with the power output with the fw

Think I’m probably going to end up going with the DV6, it’s been thoroughly proven to be a good ESC from what I have seen. I’m going with a loopkey for power anyways so the AS isn’t much of an issue. Not to mention it’s cheaper.
Been looking for something to replace the TENKA that has been collecting dust on my shelf that I was going to put in my mtb, but I just can’t convince myself to actually put it in a board. I really hate not doing anything with it because it’s basically e-waste at that point but I really want something reliable for my first mtb.

U can sell it to drv repair people to salvage parts, so at least it’s not wasted if u won’t put it in a board
Yes, I’d say DV6 is reliable af out of all the makerx esc, it’s bulletproof, besides if there is any problem, makerx is good at CS they will take good care of u

Hi guys!
From a first glance, does the attached diagram look correct?
I’m trying to revive a Raptor 2.0 with this BMS:
After a half day’s worth of Googling, I don’t feel like I found sufficient info, so I’m trying myself.
