Hard times my dude.
Neo yet unproven
All focbox variants out of production
Stormcore a distant dream
Escape gone
Flipsky mostly piles of shit
Maytech random issues and old tech
MakerX sort of maybe ok perhaps
Right at this second I would fork out for a Trampa VESC 6 because none of the above tickle my fancy. Luckily I have bags and bags of unity’s so don’t need to make the hard choices.

Ill gonna hop in here and say that “best” is a really vague parameter, and is different for everyone/every build. Could you clarify your question/what parameters you are looking for?
If by “best” you mean “best quality/least likely to make me eat street” then I would say the Trampa VESC6 MK3 is the “best available” option.
For what budget?

i would say the flipsky 6.6 dual BIG version is alright for heavy builds. many members on this forum incl myself have used it for a long time with no problems.
otherwise the maker x 4.2 dual is also a good option but i wouldn’t do more than 30a per side on those.

Failure rate of around 20% from our community poll. If those are acceptable figures then that’s ok I suppose.
The other side to flipsky is how they just outright steal our community projects, produce them sub standard and sell them at a 400% markup, nice

Just a longshot stab in the dark. But if you decide to lighten those bags, for the sake of avoiding back injuries, I can certainly help you out. 
Just kidding!
But seriously, I really need one of those for my 12s build.

Neo’s been solid so far, MakerX is trash for children’s toys.

How much weeks people ride neoboxes now? I think it’s a bit early to make a final decision on there performance.

About three weeks and a few folks all but trying to kill them they are after all built on the FOCBOX design, true issues are more likely to turn up long term but initial tests is good.

Stormcore will not be available for public?
If I remember reading the thread correctly it will be… in due time. After it has gone through initial testing, more testing, more testing and probably more testing.
Then i believe it’ll be avail to the public.
Again this I what I believe I read I could be wrong.

It’s not criticism Jeff, it’s reality. There have been issues yes and its first batch. Quality is proven over time and many users. I desperately want them to be good but I’ve been let down lots of times.

Jeff please don’t take it as an attack against you or your product.
As the guys said it is too early.
The Unity had been out for months before the first problems started to appear both hardware and software.
In your case the Neoboxes are compatible with the standard vesc tool so only hardware applies.
Some of us just feel a little more testing is required before endorsing a product.
