Stay away from aldi/lido silicone it’s highly corrosive.

All the neutral cure and especially the odour-free and/or low-emission products are probably okay.

I strongly prefer clear colour, because if you need to work on something later, it’s far easier to cut silicone out if you can see what’s inside of it…

The supplier hasn’t update the firmware for a while,we don’t personally have the sourcefiles but I can certainly ask. They just made it seem more complicated than applying a source file for firmware updates.
But as I have mentioned in the pms, you can use the newer versions without bricking the esc.

They are nice escs putting 5 fw won’t brick them some features won’t be compatible, I prefer these to most of the flipsky.

If you supply hardware with the firmware on it, you’re legally bound to also supply the source code for the firmware.

It’s not really optional as set forth by the license the original author put on the software.

Plus, we can look at that and see why people think this won’t work with newer versions.

I think it’s a step in the right direction, the Chinese ESC alternatives a few years ago were the worst kind of rubbish. The old hobbywings and clones were configurable only by cutting traces on the board. Some didn’t even have that option and used no name fets. This has vesc tool configurability ok 3.xx only. BLDC all the way who needs fw 5 anyway. I bought one of these for an 10s 2 motor scooter build and have been impressed how good it is for the cost.

They are very loose. Just enough to not skip

That sux I have 6 X fs 6354 and only had issues with one and that was just a bearing replacement. But only 1000km that’s bad.

you’re right
occasionally we stumble across a rift in the time/space continuum that is un-explicable…

I have an old LiYing ESC with a crappy remote that I can faithfully put on any board,any motor and make it work
