Esk8 Remotes: Garbage or Greatness!

Lol this sounds kinda odd

For what it’s worth, it’s only in higher interference areas. If you live downtown, you’ll likely have issues. If you live suburban, you’ll be fine 95% of the time, but the 5% is stil scary

I know. It just has literally everything you could ask for, it just struggles downtown.

Which, signal reliability is probably #1 on the list for most people lol

I am pretty exited to try out flipsky new offerings, the vx4 and the new vx1 pro that radio is used in high speed and long range RC airplane stuff. Should be really robust

So true thanks. I was in prebuilt ESC mode not DIY VESC mode. However you’ve got me thinking, are remote issues down to the link between remote to reciever or reciever to ESC or all three? I’m trying to find a reliable tried and tested combo of remote and VESC.

The only thing I care about with remotes is making sure signal doesn’t cut out.

It could be the ugliest remote, but If it’s reliable, I’ll use it. Besides the dual trigger ones like evolve. Fuck those kind of remotes.

Puck has been 10/10 for me :ok_hand:t3:

The only 2 remotes I actually enjoy and trust are these…

Hoyt St Puck

Its pricey but the build quality and mil-spec quality is outstanding, take a bit to build the muscle memory needed to really ‘drive’ with this remote but is arguably the best race remote available. Hoyt St is a reliable and customer-centric vendor.

BKB Voyager

It fits great in the hand, very comfortable, great battery life and is a great option for live data. BKB is a reliable and customer-centric vendor.

Hi, does anyone know of a good remote(shipping to EU, price around 60 €) that connects too the ESC via CAN or any other option for the Flipsky FESC 4.12.(See picture below) I have the Flipsky VX2 which connects over comm/UART, which I would like to use for the Bluetooth module.

You can get a ppm remote. Hoyt puck will plug right into that receiver wire that comes off of the esc.

Have a feeling the Hoyt puck is expensive AF and maybe not cheap to ship to EU.

your other option is the flipsky vx1, which has a ppm mode.

Why would they

Two inexpensive but decent PPM remotes are the GT2B and Mini remotes. There are some cool 3d printed cases for them on the forums too.

Get the alien power systems remote. You won’t regret it. But it’s ppm.
