I’ve finally gotten around to fully reviewing the MakerX DV6. In short, it’s a great option in the ESC market, coming in at a low cost compared to competition, and offering equal or better performance than competitors.
The point of this thread is to educate all forum users, new or old, about this ESC. Share your experiences, reviews you find, whatever you like. Troubleshoot, etc.
Here’s my review, check it out!
If you have feedback on my review or something to tell me or suggest, feel free to PM me, always looking to improve.
One thing that I should make note of is that if you want to change the firmware on the ESC you gotta flash the bootloader. If you look through my other videos, I go through that process in my DV6 setup video.
When you’re monitoring temps during the ride are you looking down at a davega or is there a phone mounted somewhere or what? Can’t tell where you’re getting your real-time info
My DV6 cuts out and I’ve stopped using it because I consider it dangerous.
Been trying to send it back but the address I was given seems to be unrecognised by shipping companies I’ve tried.
I’ve had no response from the vendor since finding this out.
It was one of the first ones.
Hmm, idk thats odd it shouldnt be doing that maybe totally make sure ur antispark or loopkey setup is properly connected and siliconed together so that wont potentially cause a cutout. I ride over shitty city streets all the time and those impacts and bumps never did a cutout for me. Could simply be a defective vesc but not to sure tho.
Thank you so much! I take pride in my production quality
When I’m talking as I ride, I am looking down at my Maytech V2 remote because it has full info displayed live on it.
Yeah this is one of the things I knew about, really kind of a bummer. I sent one thing back to them, but the whole address didn’t quite fit in the shipping spaces. No idea if @YUTW123 ever received it. It never got returned to sender.
Sorry to hear that, I haven’t heard from them at all recently either.
Could be this, @BigBen have you attempted to disassemble it? Could be something shorting onto the heatsink in a non-lethal way
Yeah… China addresses are weird. Their location was like inside of a “tech business park” or something like that
I can’t remember exactly. It’s a shame they weren’t more helpful with figuring it out. Someone on my video commented that their experience with CS was good though. Super hit or miss.
Yeah I love the remote, in theory.
If you live anywhere with high signal interference, it’s a bad time. It would be perfect besides that part. The ride I did the other day I had cutouts on an entire road, and then in a couple other select spots.
I’ve got two Maker X ESC, A DV6 and a Mini FOC Plus.
I did encounter issues with the DV6 when I tried to do some fancy shit and by that I mean set it up so it could run a Davega, Puck and Robogotchi as opposed to just a VX2 remote.
Telemetry data coming from one of the ESC CAN’s was sketchy and the VESC wizard to get the Puck configured wouldn’t run. I was getting error messages telling me that the CAN firmware was out of sync even though it wasn’t. I then ended up going down a rabbit hole of updating the firmware directly on each CAN and then again from the primary USB . Whatever I did it’s working now and I’m too scared to touch it in case I break something…
