Hi what firmware are you running on them ? i just got a DV6 set up went for test ride and have cogging at full acceleration and braking … it peforms pretty good apart from the cogging.
I’m currently running a DV6 on 5.3FW and a DV6 pro on custom FW.

Which custom FW on your DV6 pro?
Haha same here. For some reason it’s more stable than the official release.
I buy?

Dv6 arrived, first test ride and it performed well.
What amp limits are you guys running on it?
I am running 100A motor 70A battery on each side, can’t really speak of the stock thermal performance though because mine is bolted to a huge heatsink. With that said with my heatsink the hottest it has gotten is about 10-15C over ambient.
Mine is from late 2020, not sure if the recent ones still use the same mosfets

100a motor is well torquey. Is that with stock 5.3 fw?
Stock 5.1 fw

Interesting, stock meaning you kept the ine that came with the esc or uploaded a version from the vesc website?
I am asking this because, same as for the dv4, when I uploaded the standard vesc 5.3 that I downloaded from the vesc website, I noticed an increase in torque.

And yes, according to the website the regular dv6 now has the same mosfets as the pro version, and the latter is out of stock

Stock as in official vesc fw from vesc website. Interesting that you saw a torque increase by going to 5.3. At 100A I have so much torque that I doubt I would notice the difference, full throttling on flat is already quite hard to do lol

What’s your gear ratio? It was the same for me with the dv4, took me a bit practice to be able to full throttle, problem was when I did I damaged the esc because maker x said I was running a stock firmware and I should have had a different version for my esc,
I distinctly remember with the dv4 when I updated the fw for the first time, so much more torque. I hope is not the same with the dv6 where the stock fw can damage the esc
Could that increase have been switching from uart to ppm? 
2.2 ratio, 115mm wheels, 140KV motors, about 60km/h top speed maybe a bit more. I can full throttle it just requires quite a bit of concentration and a good road
I didn’t know the DV4 needed a custom fw, that’s strange.
As far as I know people just use the official hw60 fw for the DV6 non pro, I could be wrong though

Well I didn’t know either, but then while I was troubleshooting with maker X, he asked me to check the resistors value, and he told me that my specific esc was supposed to have a different firmware version, and he apologized for not telling me on POS.
When I reinstalled the firmware that he suggested, the performance were exactly the same as when I bought them, considerably less torque on startup from stand still. Even putting the motors on 100a o reducing the ramping didn’t give huge improvement. It felt like there was a soft start kind of thing.
At this point The esc was probably already damaged, so he agreed on a refund and I purchased the dv6
Sometimes 100 motor Amps and 90 battery Amps per side.
Usually 60 motor amps and 30 battery amps per side.
