But really, unsure what that will do. This feels like a bottleneck.

60 for vesc 6 architecture.

Is this the remote you have with your bound motor esc?
It’s the one I got with it. I remember having some weak power issues when I was using firmware other than the recommended firmware and it was because the bottom button (some type of speed mode throttle curve adjustment button) was locking me into a beginner setting no matter how many times I pushed it.

Also be careful updating and downgrading the firmware. That vesc will timeout and shut off in the middle of an upgrade. If you leave the remote on and paired while playing in vesc tool I believe it doubles the amount of time before timeout.

yeah thats what I have rn

I am using 1.29 tool and 3.65 FW, that is what I though was recommended.

when I press that button the lights on the remote change which seems to indicate a change in speed mode, but I don’t really know

Great info. Fingers crossed.

Yeah the four lights should light up one at a time. They’ll light up slow, medium or fast signifying what mode you’re in. My issue was because of the firmware the lights where changing but nothing was actually happening. Try it on each mode, if you can feel a difference that’s not your problem, if you can’t feel a difference that might be it.

I recall a difference in top speed I think, but that may have been issues with my speed tracker. There was no discernable difference in acceleration when I “changed” the modes

There was a noticeable difference in acceleration for me between the lowest mode and highest mode.
Once I got it working.

Right, but I think he said the right firmware fixes this.

Reverted to the recommended firmware after trying about a dozen others. I don’t remember what that number was it was over a year ago I think.

Edit: The screenshot that @BillGordon posted looks familiar I’d bet whatever firmware that says is what I used

Doesn’t work at all or didn’t fix the acceleration problem?

This may be due to the remote being powered while the hall sensors were being detected?
