You don’t have to hold back, this isnt the enertion forum. Both the raptor 2 and unity were dumpster fires.
Good move Carl, sounds like Enertion is in a bit of trouble, business wise.
You didn’t by chance come away with any Legacy Focbox schematics did you?
Hey come to California we got lots of jobs:+1:t2:
Nice to see you here @carlcollins066! You and @Chibatterysystems were the reason I was praising Enertion’s support for a long time.
The fact that you’ve both left I feel marks the beggining of their end, sadly.
Don’t forget Bara, Moja, Roan, Rizwan. ackmaniac at some point.
For stuff, there’s also the push on pulley, 6355 motors, and making VESC widely available at reasonable prices. I got in a bit after, but I think at the time it was Enertion (sometimes bad batches) Ollin (expensive and long wait) and torqueboards (sorry dex, many bad batches? bad at 12s/foc?).
And generally Enertion and Jason really gave a huge push to electric skateboarding and diy on youtube, social media, and the web. Created lots of how-to content for diy’ers. Things appear to have backfired at the moment, but I really think his intent was to make the coolest shit he could, and spread the fever as far as he could (but also, while trying to dominate the industry).
FOCBOX 1.7, OG enertion motor mounts… were pretty dope.
I second that. I will also add the R-Spec motors.
With chuncked wheels?
R-Spec outrunners.
Motor ok, but the pu was bad. Accidents happened through that.
I think Enertion got fu&ked because of their dependency on China. They over promised and under delivered again and again. Lots of money was poured into them delivering a well made product that just never happened.
Remember the first rides people took with the Raptor 2? Everyone loved the torque and speed. Made me want to get one…until things started falling apart after some miles were put in.
Almost all my parts of my 1st build was from Jason’s garage days.
You really had the most ungrateful job in the world. How you managed to keep good tone and try is impressive.

Welcome Carl!
I think I just came up with a cool sounding name. How about VESC 7?
I can already see Frank typing and I haven’t even pushed the “reply” button yet.
It’s a bit late. VESC7 already exists
VESC 8 asshole… You know the drill…
Anyone else love that Carl popped in for like 3 seconds everybody freaked out and he dipped and now you’re all just speaking to the air lol
