Yes stock FW comes all set to go, no need to change anything.

Yeah but if you did detection again you would have been given the option to return to default settings, which may have switched them back on

If this esc has the potebtial to burst inti flanes because you may have accidentally hit 'run default aettings" instead of ādont run default settingsā then everyone deserves thier money back for these thinga. But no I never change to default settings when running detection

If itās really that dangerous then these ESCs should really be using a custom firmware file that disables this setting on a hardware level. And the best way to ensure that only the custom firmware gets used by customers is to make a merge request to the vesc tool project so that it can be included by default. Itās really not that hard.
This might have saved Spintendās reputation as well, assuming their claims of people using wrong firmware were all true.

Yeah Iām more than upset about these damn ESCs. Bought two of them, one for me and one for my cousin. First one we install, explodes and catches fire during detection. Had the installed firmware that came with it and phase filters were turned off.
Second one, the power button stopped working after like 2 uses and could not figure out why.

Yes, very worrying. Ive got an OG Maker X D75 sitting there as a spare when ubox were having all the issues. Funny thing is my ubox 75v has been flawless to date (touch wood).
12s escs the DV6 is still a great option. Wish there was something reliable at higher voltages!

Apparently the era of the antispark still is not to be yet
Sticking with the DV6 I guess
That sucks. Iāve had 4 and all perfect. Iām still using two DV6s and push them hard.
I guess nothing has shown to be bomb proof. Starting to consider the Stooge Race board esc setup. 8s with high amps on inrunners and castle creations mamba esc. Apparently the Stooge boards have NEVER has esc issues.

Iāve seen them have ESC issue in person.
Also their setup is jerky as hell and not very fun to ride

Ok, i stand corrected then haha. As far as jerkiness though, Iāve watched a lot of footage of Stooge race boards and they donāt look overly jerky. Race boards you really want to take off.

Iām having a bit of this issue with with my setups. Though they are all capped at 12s, I feel like Iām hitting an acceleration ceiling with them. Canāt get the start torque I want despite pretty high settings

This has always been my question. Especially when it comes to braking modulation.

Itās not good.

I think youāre just getting used to your setup lol
My MTB is at 12s 110a per motor and itās super torque but recently Iāve been able to max it out without much hesitation, whereas at the beginning I couldnāt even full accel without some hesitation haha

Probably the issue! But itās hard to have context. Iāve never ridden a prebuilt, despite having built 8 different DIYs. I can only compare to myself lol.
Iāve barely ridden prebuilts too. I canāt imagine any except the apex predator would actually satisfy my torque needs lol
Just gotta keep building more crazy DIYās

Bioboards 4wd and top end Lacroix boards seem torquey AF too
