I’m going to print a dummy and see how it feels in hand if I like it I’ll get it. I want a quality remote.
Vx1 is good, Vx2 is decent, I have the Maytech v2 which is awesome, Gt2b mods work well

I sold them all. Made enough to pay for mine.
I love it. No dropouts yet. Just doesn’t play nicely with focbox unless you’re on 5x firmware

Nice! I’m have order one from first batch! Can’t wait to receive it. I have some noob question would like to ask:
1 - What is the VESC tool’s firmware should be use with it?
2 - Can bus connector can be switch off or its always on? is the a official master side and slave side or can be either way? (cause I see the layout slighly diffrence w only 1 can bus)
3 - Both side can be programing at the same time with can bus connected or it has to do seperately?
4 - I’m getting a Flipsky vx1 remote is this should be connected to the board first time I turn it on or it has to be programed first?
Sorry I have a lot of noob question since it’s my first build, its so much headache to choose a vesc and so far this one have no record of break (cause you just ship it:D) so I would love to be sure to make no mistake! If there is any tutorial for programing would be great since I have to watch video from another brand which might not be the same???

Firmware version 5.1.
Canbus is already connected internally. Two ESCs can be programmed via CAN.
You can refer to the operation video of filpsky.

3- beyond the wizard, use can forward to program each side individually. For example put 20 battery amps on side 1, apply/write, use can (on pc is bottom left) and put 20 battery amps on side 2, apply/write. This is the process for all settings unfortunately.
4- generally a good idea to plug the receiver after you finished motor detection, although for me, shutting down the remote seems to be enough

Do you have a recommended max battery amps / max motor amps? I notice you said 100a phase was okay, definitely an impressive feat. Just put my order in, hope to have a build ready for it to drop into within 2 weeks.

Fair warning on my GoFoc retro, apparently the thermal cutoff was set to 60c and I ran into major thermal throttling the other day, only running my motors at 50 battery and 50 motor amps.
I don’t think the thermal cutoff is supposed to be that low but I do have the heatsink

That’s a strange one. Running stock fw?
