This is what I was gonna say
Honorable mentions would be the MakerX DV6, which I think is the best option for the money, and then probably Flipsky FESC 6.6 DUAL +

Probably jumping the gun on calling it bulletproof since it’s still kind of new, but yes I agree

Yeah and my main point is there haven’t been a lot of people saying good or bad things about it
Not the point of the thread though

yup, don’t want to derail the thread more.
but i have hd60 that im still waiting on parts to complete my build with it 
i kinda feel like there is to few diy esk8ers to really get big groups of ppl riding on different vesc that comes out to really get a broad data sprectrum of which ones are good and which are in need of improvement. Like alot of esk8ers primarily are prebuilt riders who dont experience wat real boards feel like and half stays with pre builts or goes to ebikes,unis or scoots. We honestly need more aftermarket diy components we usually use to be introduced into the prebuilt market to amass more attention to different components that may or may not need improvements.

I’d have thought the FS 4.12 or 4.20 would be high on the list? Just because they’re so cheap and noobs don’t know better than to buy the marketing claims

it probably is just from a sales standpoint and not really a overall performance standpoint since most of the well informed knows better.

In popularity alone, the ESCs people are using the most that are still being sold would be
- BKB Xenith
- Stormcore 60D+
- One of Flipsky’s ESCs
(probably the FESC 6.6 dual+)
And runner ups would be Trampa’s Vesc 6 mk5 or HD60 (which have the same kind of on/off circuitry), and then Torque6 ESC which doesn’t have any on/off switch. MakerX’s lineup and older ESCs also don’t have an on/off switch.
Cheap focers have an interesting implementation, although I’m not sure how many people even use it. It might still draw a lot of power when off, don’t know

Flipsky ESCs being available on Amazon prime likely has a lot of weight in more people using them.

Flipsky dual 6.6 due to price having been good for newbies
Stormcore 60d/60d+ due to branding and performance
Unity/xenith due to marketing/ being around for a while/ idiot not wanting to die

I’d buy a unity. If it breaks, I have the original engineer at the shop.
With the potter tenka potting, even he couldn’t do shit
PS: with that said, I’ve never bought one and never intend to 
Stormcore for life
