Jesus, thank you for saying the quiet part out loud. I thought I was going crazy.

Doesn’t matter how loud you say it. Shiny wins every time.
Keep pumping out new versions every 6 months and it’s gotta keep getting better right?
…right?

We’ll just put out a new version rather than fixing the problems of the old version and then by the time people figure out the problems of the new version we’ll have a newer version but you know the best thing we’ll just name them all the same fucking thing.
I’ve worked with dozens of them at Hoyt.
They are harder to set up because they are not a single MCU ESC. You have to be wary of the different settings on each side of the ESC, you have to always make sure to read in your can bus settings when switching sides, and you have to make sure to set the power button up properly. Otherwise I found them to be way more bulletproof than any storm core or unity I’ve ever touched.

Tldr vesc still kinda sucks
That’s been my experience too. More difficult to set up than others. But once setup properly, very robust.

I had good luck with my 60D. No issues at all and setup was always easy with no problems. Wish the newer ones were as solid. Would be great if the BKB xenithcore was fixed and reliable, but I’m not gonna be a test dummy

Im with you, but not very hopeful that a scab like bkb can sort issues that Lacroix never did.
I welcome more dual vescs to the fold since we live in a land of mainly makers/solos

One of my board with a unity just stopped working one day. Opened the orange silicone cover and saw that the BT module rattled off and assume was shorting something. Took off the module and the board worked fine. Haven’t died…yet

Are we talking the bioboards one? The green one? I am using that one currently. Any insight regarding its reliability?

Reliable yes. Pain in the ass to setup, believe it or not, also yes.
21s esc, small, high amps, reasonably priced… that’s what a lot of people want. maker x for all it’s flaws has been bulletproof for me once I got it set up right.

I’m still running 3 Unity’s and a StormCore 60. No problems so far but I don’t push any boundaries.
I’ve got a MakerX in a bag ready for my eMTB2 build, thanks for the fore-warning about setting them up. I did find a YT vid, hopefully that’ll cover everything.

I got my d100s pretty much when it was released. Only issues have been from me blowing up motors from overheating. Otherwise there was a weird sensored>sensorless transition on fw 5.3 that feels fixed in fw6

I would love to see this guide! Mine’s a D100S. Not sure if there is a setup difference between that and a DV6?
It’s all the same.
