Let me get this straight, you make a living racing right? But how does this work? You have to win to get some prize money or are you paid by some rich brand to race? I initially thought that was your side gig and you actually was selling bikes for a living.

peeps pay for a jockey, to get their shit down the race course… peeps pay to get shit dialed in to race… peeps pay for logistics, advice, local knowledge, and sum folks just pay me to hang out…

I don’t get rich… hardly anyone does racing… but it supports my expensive habits/hobbies and I gets to race some k00l shit…

lottsa peeps come over to the k00k-side when they get tired of seeing a rear fender or tail light…

Ohh I understand, you might not get rich but that sounds like a lot of fun. I would hardly call it working.

I’m using a FSESC 4.20 Dual Plus on my eMTB with 80/-80 motor and 60/-12 battery… I know its cursed to do so but I think I hit the silicon lottery with that ESC. Hope I didn’t just jinx my self by saying this…

Pls esk8 gods don’t kill me

At least it doesn’t throttle with the heat sinks I put on it

@Tamatoa I updated that pic… with the constant airflow over the fins it works pretty well. I used arctic silver 5 and silicone to attach I think its splash proof too.

But still, its a flipsky so…

maybe i could hop on the Torque ESC bandwagon soon :thinking:

that looks good tho, just be careful and do some testing before you go crazy with it.
