Mini FOC based on VESC6

I would always choose the single versions of any ESC.

Any specific reason for this? Is it more reliable?

Yes. If something fails, it doesnā€™t bring down the other side (assuming youā€™re using dual receivers). Also, you have half as much to replace. You canā€™t saw a dual in half and pay to replace only one side.

Just add one electrolytic on the main power leads.
I added som phat solder to the power paths on the PCB as well, they looked tiny.

There Are uart ports on the dual itā€™s located next to the hall sensor port.

i see, that pin out looks different, usually rx and tx next to one another

Yes it is a very different pinot and the voltage is only 3.3v not 5v

Do you think my vx1 will work with it? If I change the pin out on my vx1 plug?

Itā€™s supposed to use 5v but Iā€™ve bench tested it with the vx1 and its working fine.

Right on, what are your over all impressions of the dual? I am thinking of doing a 4wd build with 2 of them, the price point is really good

I have only bench tested it thus far but so far so good. Just keep in mined that the uart and hall sensor port pinouts Are different than every other vesc Iā€™ve used.

Gotcha, but swapping around some pins doesnt seem like that much of a down side
