Not anything the average user is going to notice, but maybe we get more information from lacroix soon lol. Maybe. Main dif is the Dx has no DRV chip

any chance you know if these will be the actual spec?
no more Lacroix controller capable of 20S?
Those are specs they use for their boards. Iām assuming for warranty purposes vs giving folks the maximum off the bat. So thereās some space for errors I guess

I was told the DX is safe for 18s but was also told that about the 100D+ however there are now a few people running the ladder at 20s soooo not sure about the Dx actual limits

just what they use on their boards. a nazzare lonestar I had in was using these exact settings.

I ordered a 100D on backorder a while back and saw this. I shot them an email and the i dfferences are better heat mamagement, more reliable and drvless is what they told me.

Did it have a DRV before? I thought 100v DRV donāt exist
The 60D uses two 60v DRV8323RS, and the 100D uses two 100v DRV8353RS chips. Both are a much newer generation of DRV chips with some additional features and a smaller package compared to the DRVs that come in the V4/V6.

they told me when I got my 100D+'s I could run them at 20S if I didnāt run crazy amps

And with that voiding any warranty etc. Imo thats not a green light. Thatās the same as saying you ācanā run 13S in a 60V esc.

I am about to buy the Stormcore 60 in a couple days, waiting for LacroixEurope to restock them. Iām guessing itās gonna be the 60D+. Anything wrong with that one, compared to the new one?

The 60d+ is the newest 12s Stormcore. 100D+/x are for higher voltages

Im gonna sound stupid as hell, but what is the benefit of DRVless, Ive heard the term thrown around but am not sure what it entails

While the DRV8301 is a very robust, rock solid chipset (used in HW 6 designs), the higher voltage DRV8353 turned out to be not a very reliable chip for high power ESCs. In consequence it makes sense to build those higher voltage ESCs without the DRV8353 and rather use individual gate drivers. Unfortunately this design approach is more expensive. The other thing is built in protection. The DRVs typically come with some nice protection mechanisms which help to protect the system in certain scenarios. However, if the chip itself is not very reliable in general, those mechanisms give you no advantage really. The other thing to consider at the moment is chip availability. The DRV8353 and 8323 were out of stock for a very long time now. Also DRV8301 is hard to purchase right now.
