UPDATE!
I have put around 30-45 miles on this vesc and no issues thus far.
Some of pros and cons are listed throughout this thread but I will try to summarize them here.
Pros-
Easy install as everything is intigrated (great for beginners and minimizes wire clutter)
Really nice feeling remote that I’ve experienced zero disconnects with.
Good battery life on the remote.
Nice heatsink.
Build quality looks great.
Great customer support from @Esk8supply .(I had a issue with one of the lights on the remote not working which dident effect anything but the battery indicator and Nathan sent a new one right over!)
Cons-
It would be nice if the vesc was in landscape mode rather than portrait. (That’s the clearest way I can explain it😂)
Would be nice to have heatshrink or a cover on it. ( @Esk8supply has confirmed they are working on a cover!)
There was no heatshrink on the terminals of the switch.
The vesc has no uart (or any ports for that matter) which means you can’t use uart devices like a Bluetooth module but it was not advertised too have any uart so I can’t really call it a con ( @esk8supply has confirmed a version with all ports is coming In the future!).
I would have liked to see a area where you can attach a battery indicator in a way that it would go on/off when the built in antispark is switched on/off.
Personal preferences-
I would have liked a raised portion in the middle of the thumb wheel to indicate the center like the vx1.
I don’t love the position of the thumb wheel, It’s sorta on the side of the remote and feels a bit awkward at times but it’s not a big deal.
Price/where on the market does this fit in:
I’m going to put this in the same catagory as a dual flipsky 4.20 plus with a vx1 remote which comes out to Roughly the same price as the esk8 supply vesc. With the flipsky combo you get a bit more customizability, a nicer form factor and in my opinion a bit better of a remote however it’s antispark is not great and is known to fail. (I don’t think the esk8 supply antispark has been tested enough to give the final verdict on it yet but so far so good.)
If you are a new to building electric skateboards or just want something that’s super easy to install I would deffinently go for the @esk8supply combo over the flipsky. For a more experience Builder I would probably go for the flipsky combo.
Overall I’m be very pleased with this esc/combo and will update this thread if any issues do occur.
