Probably didnāt happen. @BuildKitBoards seems content to ignore segments of the market theyāve soiled, and move on.
A lot of nice stories, and no substance.

No, atleast not for us. But at the same time i dont think its bkb responsible to pay for Jasonās mistake.

They are responsible for doing what they said they would do.

There werenāt many people who reached out to BKB and said they didnt receive theirs from Enertion. Off hand, there were two people that we sent them to and one of them was from this forum IIRC.

It seems a bit odd that you would advertise the āEnertion reparationsā as a feature of your new Xenith, but not advertise the way in which these people could be added to a list for a donation.
I imagine thereās hundreds of people that got screwed. Itās pretty convenient to say they just didnāt get in contact and throw your hands up.
Is there a link or a form on the website to get added to the donation list?

Nope, just people who DMd or emailed
It was mainly for forum members anyway, which is where it was posted.

Does this mean BKB is dropping the Xenith altogether, or just in prebuilts?

Altogether
The wires between the receiver and the ESC are not the reason why that remote was disconnecting itās very disingenuous to say that was the reason.

Iād be surprised if they stopped selling the xenith. I suspect theyāll keep it available as a performance upgrade, or something similar.
Moving to lingyi has gotta be a good move for increasing margin, and decreasing time spent fielding customer support emails. Plug and play lingyi is probably a more fun user experience for the average BKB builder.
It does make me a little sad though. The BKB duo was my first baby step to legit DIY, and I learned a ton about VESC. I didnāt even know how to solder a few years ago

They had some pretty brutal QC issues, so Iād be less surprised. Really no reason to buy these anymore given what Maker-X is dropping these days.

So at this point is the voyager discontinued?

i would say so because they no longer have a use for the voyager remote since i would assume that the signal coming off the voyager remote is not directly compatable with the ling yi esc and if it is than that is impressive all they mentioned is they worked with spintend to use their stock ubox remote with the spintend but we know that the lingyi remote is not the same as the spintend one the shell case is the same but the signal and electronics are not so i would assume that the voyager wont work with the ling yi esc

I enjoy being able to see on my remote how fast Iām going when I plow through a busy NYC intersection because my remote disconnected and I lost control.
