All the VESC-based ESCs are compatible with the VX1, and will run a BLDC motor (brushless 3-phase AC) or a brushed DC motor like the Evolve Gen1 or the old Gen1 Metroboard motors.
If it’s not VESC-based, then no guarantees. Probably yes on the remote and no on the brushed motor.
thanks for the feedback. so just single VESC is compatible with VX1.
this one.
yes i was planning on using the current gen 1 motor then upgrading to outrunner motor in the future. so i want to get just single VESC VX1 combo than can run the current gen 1 motor and if possible a 5095 motor.
is that possible?
That one is compatible with both. I’m not saying it is or isn’t the best choice for you, but it’s compatible. Seems the link is an HTTP404 error though
Do you mean a 5065 motor? The same motors that Evolve uses on their production boards, right?
They’re small and lack power worthy of a DIY board, but it does mean that you can get away with Evolve stock.motor mounts.
The single VESC and remote is all you need, as well as an antispark switch (e-switch or loop key) to power it on and off.
what will be a best choice single vesc to power a single motor that can run ABEC 107’s?
i’m thinking of using this one https://flipsky.net/collections/e-skateboard/products/f5085-140kv-brushless-motor-for-direct-drive-propeller
or the is it much better if i use the one you suggested which is 6374? https://flipsky.net/collections/e-skateboard/products/flipsky-electric-skateboard-motor-r-6374-190kv-3250w
That’s a tough question to answer. It can’t be answered without knowing what you want.
Do you want to optimize your design for:
You’re getting about twice the power of the 5085 by using the 6374, but it has different mounting holes to the 5085, so you’ll need a mount capable of supporting 63mm motors such as the ones in my first response above.
With the kV rating difference, the 6374 will also go faster given an identical voltage is applied to both motors.
Much in the line of what @b264 is asking, maybe figure out what your needs are and then ask for advice tailored to your desired requirements.
Basically i just want a city carver that can run abec 107 wheels but not necessarily go fast. up until 35kph is fine. with the range of around 16km. range is more important than speed.
for the batteries i would like to use the current gen 1 as for the enclosure.
so in general just upgrading the gen 1 to run current motors and have decent range but not too fast 
thank you very much guys for your feedback. really appreciated
Running a DC motor in lieu of a BLDC motor is going to use 2 FETs instead of 6 FETs and I think it will heat up quicker, which means it will not be able to run as much current. I think. I’ve never tried it.
You want to look for an ESC that has the six FETs connected by a common heatsink. Maybe like the Mini FSESC4.20
But I have not used the VESC design with a DC motor.
i will look into this! thank you very much!
it will just be easier for me if i just buy a specific VESC for the motor that i’m gonna replace the DC with.
The original Gen 1 motor is only 750 Watts or something anyway. I will be putting my Gen 1 kit together with a single 6374 and a Focbox in the next few weeks.
you are also doing same build with gen 1 components? what parts will you use aside from the motor and focbox?
@migimogi Yeah, brother it has the same mounting pattern as the Evolve mounts with a bit of extra movement to adjust your angle.

Nothing amazing. 10s3p, Nano remote, my usual mild drop deck. Comfy cruiser only.
