should add “BoundMotor X-Core” to discontinued VESCs. idk what the specs are but it handles 12s and has an integrated remote. there is no internal CAN-bus the integrated remote is just split to each side internally.

Why is the Flipsky 75100 listed as 20s when it’s advertised as 75V? Am I missing something?

Yes

Wat tho

I list the ratings the manufacturer gives on the details section of the product page.

I am running the 75100 on a 20s ebike with no problems. It has all 100v components but there needs to be some margin for voltage spikes.

This is my plan, I wanted to get it for a 20S ebike build but I want to trust that it can handle the overhead of spikes.

Added the Cheap Focer 3, new Flipsky 75100 aluminum versions, MakerX D60/75/100 family, and moved a few others around.

I’m still thinking about the best way to group the various VESC designs. Originally it started with Vedder’s V4 and V6 hardware that other manufacturers largely used and made some tweaks to, but now it is starting to evolve beyond that with completely independent designs. I’ve made some changes, but I’ll probably continue to tweak that as I learn more.

The two most significant design features that I’m using to categorize these are shunt configurations and what gate driver is used (DRV or independent) as these seem to have the biggest impact on reliability and voltage ratings. Just about any model can incorporate features like anti-spark, IMUs, bluetooth, etc as those aren’t necessarily design/platform dependent.

Open to suggestions as well

Maybe it’s better to group them by maximum safe operating voltage and add their architecture as a column?

On this note, where would things like tronic ESCs and ZESC/BESC fit in? At some point certain projects are no longer a VESC but are still compatible with VESCtool

That’s because VESC is a software project, and a certain hardware manufacturer chooses to intentionally create brand confusion by continuing to not come up with a name for their hardware.

With the spintend 75100 and the makerx 75100, they’re both using the Vesc 75300 firmware and I assume can be programmed to 300 motor and battery amps. The “peak” rating here states 200amps. Is that motor and battery amps and is it for a period of time? Can I program it up to 300 and be ok if I’m only at near that high current for seconds at most? At worst will it have a high temp shutdown or could it be worse?

Why do some of the new 75/300 designs have cables for 3 motors, is it really for three motors (go karts?)? The Trampa site didn’t really give me information or I’m shite at looking…

its just one motor. just 3 times the cable for 3 times the ampacity or whatever

I’d be curious what that wiring diagram even looks like

just connect them all to one phase

They should be using a “75100” firmware that either Spintend or MakerX would upload to the VESC project github.

That’s why they should use their own firmware. Running the 75_300 firmware on these units is basically like running the no limit firmware. I doubt it can handle 300A. The actual 75_300 hardware typically has 18 mosfets, these 75100 only have 6, and each mosfet is nearly identical in specs, so the current rating on the 6 fet version has to be quite a bit lower.

At worst you will blow a mosfet like a fuse… and a lot of times that takes out half the board with it making it pretty much unrepairable.

I’d probably stick to what their website says for amps.

I don’t trust current numbers coming from folks who would profit from a sale.

Just my $0.02
