Introducing the BKB Xenith

Have you done many miles on things? And do you have any video of one working?

@BuildKitBoards did you see JP last interview? Apart of all lies he claimed that he’s working on 150$ unity. I would never buy from him even if it cost 50$ but it’s maybe worth for you to check if it’s even possible.

By Jaypos own admission he doesn’t have any focbox source files, and through his demonstrated technical prowess we can be certain he doesn’t have the skills.

If true my guess is that it’s closer to: “I’ve found a cheap dual ESC I intend on white-labeling with the Unity brand”

Take anything that Snakeoil Salesman has to say with a kilo of sodium.

It was nice to watch how he struggles but maybe factory have some idea how to use cheaper components, simple heat sink without silicone cover and things like that.

Kilo might be not enough :wink:

The end of the Blood Unity…
The Red one looks pretty Bloody to me, but I digress.

He will probably just not populate half the fets (there are two parallel) it will only save like $10 but if you omit the ble module also you start getting closer to where you need to be price wise. It won’t push much current though.

Don’t give him any more ideas Jeffro :wink:

I feel like that would just result in more warranty/failures in the long run given how people expect/push these, yeah?

How soon would these be shipped out once bought?

They will begin shipping on Monday, the last couple of days have been spent inspecting each unit and testing them. New orders will likely ship mid week

Curious, what you do in this case? Do you refuse it or do you fix it?

This is one of the Zeniths?
Lets see some pictures of the piles of these things going through the QC.
Do you have a fancy box for these to go in or do they come as is?
What is in the package for these? Does it include the annoying little weird sized JST that is used for ppm for example? Edit, just seen on your website. Cool weird adaptor lead included.

Thanks for the link.
It has been closed already

Why is Australia with an EU tag?

Will @EboardSolutions source these?

The aussie group has been closed already, not the EU one, you may have clicked the wrong link :wink:

Although that looks crappy, I’ve seen worse from flipsky. Was surprised too when I found it, cause I know for a fact I was running 100amps through that connection. Its surprising how much current bad connections can handle for a few moments. And because we generally only use high power for a few moments, these bad connections usualy go undetected.
