Any chance this is user error? Phase leads touching? Short in the system?
I’ve got close to 1500 miles on my two, one of them running 100a per motor, 50a/per battery, and the other at 110a per motor, 60a/per battery
My friend also has one that’s been running for a year or so - the DV6 is what I always recommend, it’s solid, has great thermal performance, and isn’t too gigantic.
I had one cold solder joint when i first set it up and have a issue with fireware. then checked everything re heat shrunk all bullets and taped them after, no way it can be a short or user error. AND the guys is GHOSTING peeps …not a good sign
when you install fireware instead of firmware
Jokes aside they’ve been good to me when my Hi100 exploded spinning up 300kv motors on the bench. They replaced them with a DV6 pro but I imagine they have a lot more orders/warranty/issues to deal with now and its probably overwhelming and costing them a lot of money.
I really think complicated products should hold beta status at the beginning to iron out issues with people that know what they’re signing up for, before scaling things up with a lot of units
The rush to HV correlates worryingly with the rise of ESC failures.
Naah, man. Flipsky and Unities compensated for the other side of the equation.
We really need more ESCs to have safety features against shorts on all inputs and outputs like ZESC did.
All smoke, no fire in your opinion?
when doing so please also submit it to the vesc repository so users can easily find the correct default firmware
For users who have blown up this series of ESCs, we will provide replacements. The premise is that you must send the damaged ESC back.

Even better if in the next release of vesc tool, the software can actually detect that it’s makerx hardware and treat it appropriately
@YUTW123
That would indeed be excellent
This is great to hear!
I notice the sale on these ESCs will only last through this week. Would you consider extending the sale until you’ve received and diagnosed the damaged ESCs from existing customers? I’m considering purchasing one if these failures were just user error, but I’d like to wait if it turns out something hardware related was the cause here.
@YUTW123 thanks for the reply. When ESC arrive, is it set to run detection with the FW ok, or upon arrival do we manually goto motor config menu, make the changes, and then proceed with motor detection?
same here. I’ve been wanting one of these since the first batch of D75 but I can’t justify the purchase with so many hardware and firmware issues popping up
First, go to the Motor configuration page to set the maximum absolute current（＜200A） and phase Filter(off)，then motor detection,
one more setting: go to the advanced page to set the maximum input voltage, 57v 75v 96v .
I noticed there was a 24 hr sale over the last weekend which when it ended did not end the sale of this series of ESCs. And before that sale the ESCs were on sale. My intuition says it’ll still be on sale once this sale is over 
. Also waiting to purchase one.
Hi my DV6 blew up and have sent you emails with no reply…Cant wait to hear back 
Will these steps be needed once we have the custom firmware?
Custom firmware will limit them, so these steps are not required.
