Never heard of the brand "LesDiy" (can't find any specs online)

Hello Everyone,

After a couple builds and many years not building electric longboards, I was looking to change my current deck on my last compact budget build.


Looking for a deck and suddenly found a “strange” electric longboard which had no charger and remote on fb marketplace (I bought it for 80€)

The board was not used/charged for 4 years and the battery reads 0,3V/cell so that’s a shame (12S2P 9,6Ah 21700 LG/Sanyo? red cells)
I think I gonna make a new 12S2P pack with samsung 50S cells.
But I thought this would have a cheap chinese 10S 20A motorcontroller (around 750W) so I was really confused that the battery was 12S (and not 10S like most chinese cheap boards)
I opened the cover and the motorcontroller looks like a vesc and has 2 micro usb ports and a build-in remote receiver.

The hub motor wheels look like some airless tires but no idea how much current/power they can handle.

He had no remote, but should this just work with a Flipsky remote?:

Does anybody know something about this brand or about this motor controller/hub motors/remote?
Because I have never seen this and I have never a build with a vesc so yeah. :slight_smile:
But it still looks like a good deal for 80€ :stuck_out_tongue:

Thank you!

There’s a glimpse of the remote in this very odd youtube video…

The only other reference to the board i could find was an obsolete desertcart listing that wouldnt let me open it

  • Being sold for really cheap with no remote or charger? Probably stolen.
  • Have you tried plugging it in and see if VESCTool recognizes it? (Probably do this on a sacrificial computer that you can reformat).
  • I recognize that enclosure; it was a pretty common from several ODMs on Aliexpress.

Is it this esc?

Yes that’s the controller! That would be nice if it still works.
@sevenfloorsdown Yeah it was sold by a 70 years old man and it was not used for 4 years and still in the original box so very strange.

I found a website where they sell a board with the same hub motors:
They say “Two internal motors of approximately 1200 watts”
And then they say 6000W total power :rofl:

I think I would like to run these around max power 750W each but no idea what they can handle, and if they have temp sensors inside?

Hard to know for sure unless you can get it connected to vesc tool or open up the motors, but if the sensor wires have 6 wires rather than 5, i’d say they do.

IIRC the remote receiver was baked into that esc and it was not possible to use a different remote with it… you’d need to try and find the same remote

I has only 5 wires so no temp sensor.
I’m going to connect he vesc tool in a few days.
Hooked up a battery and the controller turn on so that’s good.

The controller from the video looks the same as the one from the dual vesc 6.1 variant


I have a ownboard remote and it looks exactly the same:

I’m only not sure how I can connect a new remote to the motorcontroller, so how I can activate pairing mode :slight_smile:

It is possible that the only similarity between the esk8supply remote and the ownboard remote is just the case. It will be interesting to see how this plays out

Yeah I think I gonna buy a Flipsky remote link in my original post (the print looks exactly the same as the one which is integrated into the controller) and try if pairing works.

I also found more information on boundmotors who is using the same motors, they say the power is around 600W and max current is 50A

And also they have the same look-a-like remote:

Pairing looks pretty easy:

I have connected it to the vesc tool and these are some settings, I also tested the motor rotation so that was the first time the motor spins :innocent:
Then I tried NRF quick pairing when I put my remote from ownboard in pairing mode, but it doesn’t work.



Some settings of the controller:




First time using this so I don’t know what everything means exept a few basic parameters :stuck_out_tongue:

Try ppm

In the vesc tool I can only find in the general app settings to choose only ppm (instead of ppm and uart) like in the pictures above.
Or what do you mean?

You can choose ppm only and then you’ll need to calibrate the ppm
