FOCBOX IS BACK?

Mine just arrived. The quickstart card is exactly the same as the Enertion quickstart card, right down to the URL’s and the misspelling. So that’s a good indicator that these are ex Enertion stock (if we haven’t already established that).

It powered up fine, connected via BT fine, I was able to update the firmware.

I need to solder different connectors on it, but after that I’ll calibrate, config and let you know if it drives ok.

look under the hood at the pcb while you’re in there

I peeled back the rubber and took a quick look at the circuit board. I didn’t completely disassemble it.

I don’t see any obvious signs of rework and the conformal coating looks intact.

The BT Module says, “enertion unity BT v1.1” right on it.

soldering look decent?

even on the puny phasewires?

the solder joints are up under the heat sink, I don’t really want to dig that deep. I guess I’ll know when I fire it up tomorrow :slight_smile:

Ok, the Unity configured and spins up both motors. Motors are nice and smooth. It’ll be a little while before I can get the board up and ready for a road test.

Does anyone know where to download the newest version of the Focbox tool for Windows (if there is such a thing - I have version 1.1, but with the new firmware on the FocBox it won’t run)?

took a punt on one of these raptorclearenceshop Unitys about three weeks ago.

Turned up today and on the face of it everything seems the same as the OG ones I got from first and second batch last year. No signs of refurbishment either. Need to connect and update next…

I won’t give that fucker my money although the unity is still the best V6 dual option ATM.what he did to the community sucks taking order while enertion was circling the drain. I will wait for TB/Stormcore 60. I still have a few OG focboxes I can use till then. #fuckshitcunts

I’m just worried the Stormcores are going to cost a fortune.

Shit that’s not stolen does tend to be a little more expensive. (Full disclosure, I bought a Unity from the shady place - not judging)

TB ESC looks promising.

Before all this drama I bought 2 unities legit from BuildKit boards. They were $226 ea. which is only $30 more than I paid for the RaptorClearance one.

So I’d like the Stormcore’ss to come in about the same. But I bet they price them at $350

Obv subject to change

For some irrational reason the $300 pricepoint seems to be my limit.

I think they might be misjudging the target market.

and, tragically, it makes me want to pick up one more Unity from RaptorClearance to keep in reserve.

Pardon my ignorance, what is TB ESC?

Ah, makes sense. But I’m spoiled by duals.

I’m betting their target market isn’t the budget ESC crowd…
