Bruh, there is enough material on how to use VESC that it could fill up an entire university course :rofl:

Seriously, the more you know, the more that you find out you don’t actually know…

I just want a brief description of the duty current limit start issue.

I haven’t made any special changes to settings on my boards for it, but don’t know if I need to.

TLDR please?

ON AN ESK8, make sure “Duty Cycle Current Limit Start” is 5% to 10% lower than “Maximum Duty Cycle” (which is usually 95%).

On a Funwheel or balance vehicle, you want it set to 100%

On an ebike or whatever, it doesn’t matter much

A good combo for esk8 is 90%, 95%

What are the default values? And why are they not good?

Depends what software you use and what version. At this point, you should probably always set them.

Doesn’t it have to do with faceplanting when going really fucking fast…like when you dont expect it doing 40mph

The bad defaults were (are?) 95% “Max Duty cycle” and 100% “Duty cycle current limit start.”

The reason that’s bad is because when you make it to 95% duty cycle, the power/acceleration you are feeling doesnt slowly fade out, it just turns off like a light switch.

This sudden loss of power is often enough to throw you off an esk8 (especially if you are leaning into a hard acceleration, for example).

When you set “Duty cycle current limit start” to 85%, then you start gradually losing power the after 85%, so by the time you make it to the 95% Max Duty cycle, you have gradually stopped accelerating and your board doesnt stop accelerating like a lightswitch.

This isnt really the thread for this though.

running higher voltage is better for the motors because you push less amps. i am running 18s on my flipsky bh 6374s with out any special settings. i ran motor detect, it set them for about 50 amps per i think, i left it that way. 400 miles later, they still run cool and spin nice. never thrown a fault. stormcore 100D. we just did a group buy of bh 6384s and i will be running 16s or 18s on mine, a few in our group are going high voltage as well

would it be possible to run 6" tires on the bergs on the AT? Berg adapters are available for the M1 too so whats the difference between getting M1 + berg and M1 AT + berg?

Difference is ratios and overall size.

The case on the regular drive is 72mm
The case on AT is 98mm

Regular drive keys into the spokes
AT drive uses the screws

Are the M1s the same configuration as the first batch? Any changes?
Also, do you have any raw sets coming?

They’re identical.

The wheel adapter hubs got a few minor tolerance changes. A few last batch had issues.

No raw sets :cry:

Evolve hub compatibility would be cool to have also.
