It doesn’t say on their web site, (unless I’m missing it) but can the Xenith be set to run sensorless or using FOC?

You can skip to the bottom paragraph for the TL;DR question…
This will be my first VESC style controller after having moved up from a surprisingly successful esk8 life using Chinese controllers and hub motors.
But I enjoy building and it was time to move to the next level so I went to Kevin @Boardnamics and got his trucks, belt drives and dual 6354’s.
So I pulled the trigger a couple of days ago on a Xenith and the expensive remote (Voyager or something). I installed the Xenith setup tool, (which looks like a trimmed down version of VescTool), on a windows partition of my Mac. I also put the specially compiled VescTool for MacOs on the Mac partition. So I hope I’m covered for wired configuration options.
Anyway with the Chinese controllers you had to guess at matching up the phase wires. If one of the hubs rolled in reverse you swap around a couple of phase wires and it would roll right.
…So question with the Xenith… and phase wires… Will I have to trial and error the order of the phase wires or does the stock Xenith Tool allow me to reverse a motor running the wrong way? I’m talking the factory Xenith configuration tool, not full blown VESC tool.
-Peter
Yes it allows you to swap direction.
You either just connect in any order and get it right - great. Or get it wrong, then you can either fix it by swapping around the phase wires again or make it via software so this motor specifically turns in the other direction.
remember to A: Power off the board when swapping phase wires and B: re-do the motor detection after having swapped the cables.
