Before getting into this hobby, I would have never guessed that turning the damn thing on and off would be one of the biggest challenges

It’s why loop keys are still so popular.
There was along period of time where almost nobody had reliable discrete mosfet switches. Vedder’s was basically a delayed fuse, months of delay, but it would always blow. Then flyer came out with a 300 amp eswitch that was kind of big but basically never blew but took 6 weeks to show up so better order 5 of them. Then it was all about cheap latching push buttons that would unlatch at the worst times which some controllers still use, then the unity saved us from all that bullshit when it wasn’t having a bad batch, now flipsky has a solid 280 amp discrete switch with a momentary button to solve all the issues with no switch or bad button switch, and now the Xenith is here for 12S and we have the Ubox for bigger boards with higher voltages.

Makes me proud of BKB. 
Others still have to proof such monstrosity without greed.

This is why I’m glad to be a small part of DRI and FreeSK8. Things done the right way and for the right reasons.

fair. But a switch wouldn’t necessarily solve that.

no but esc having control over the antispark does so it can shut its self down after set time of inactivity. imo this is the killer feature of the unity that very few ESC’s have managed to replicate.
if you want this feature your current options are Unity, Stormcore, VESC, or Spintend

Yeah giving them this was honestly a mistake but whatever. At least it serves as a stopgap interim solution.
