besides my horrible drawing skills. Does this look correct to charge only?
The highest I have noticed while riding in recent times is 68.
So the 77 stood out.
But I was going up gnarly steep gravel roads.
Quite amazed the board did it really…
But 11/70 gearing surely helped.
Pictures never do justice of how steep stuff is…

Connect balance wires to the negative side only except on B+
So in your drawing, connect them only to “red” except for one of them
By the way, red is typically positive and green is typically ground, and ground is typically negative. Of course that won’t stop it from working, but it can make things confusing

I read somewhere in an old thread that the xmatic app only works for fw up to 3.58. Right now with my current fw, I cannot view live stats such as voltage, temp, and speed in the app. My fw rn I think is v5.1 and I’m using a flipsky nrf51 bluetooth module. Is there any downsides to running an older fw on my vescs. If not, how can I get this older fw to run on my vesc?
No, it doesn’t appear to be wired correctly
see this
The lights circuit is optional. You’re missing a fuse on the charge port also.

All the purple Xs need to be fixed
And I would also use two different line widths to represent 20AWG and 12AWG wire sizes
The other problem is that your P-packs are numbered backwards
B0 = B-
B10 = B+
B1 to B9 go from more negative to more positive

I think those aliexpress shops were connected to raptor shop, which was solidly connected to the former ceo of enertion who defaulted on a bunch of customers preorders sent the company into liquidation but then is selling stock out from under it, claiming it’s from factories in china.
price trumps ethics for a lot of people. but it’s sad.

has anyone used a d-shot (not a brand name its an operating protocol)
esc in esk8 ?
these were developed for drones but are now available in up tp 200A sizes .
i would like to link to a product but this forum will hide my post for some reason .
anyway this esc (the one i cannot link) weighs 36g , is 73mm x 20mm x 32mm .
thought some of you builders might be interested .
cheers .

RC ESCs usually don’t have the desired esk8 control characteristics.
