Noob question thread! 2020_Summer

I am not sure what is causing your cutouts but that sounds really sketchy. I am happy to hear you did not get hurt. If it only happens with the VX2, perhaps that remote is incompatible with Metr Pro. I know you can adjust some of the UART settings in VESC tool, but don’t know where to start with that.

What ESC(s) are you using? Are you using duty cycle current limits?

@Trampa

A few words on DUTY CYCLE CURRENT LIMITS:
When a powerful E-Skate reaches the top speed of the motor, it can feel like hitting a small obstacle or pot hole, since the motor will not spin any faster than defined by the KV value. To avoid that situation, you can now gradually ramp down the motor power shortly before the motor reaches its max RPM.
For the now, duty cycle based current limits need to be set up manually for each ESC (or side of the ESC). We hope to bring this important feature into the Wizards soon.
A value of 85% will smoothen out the full speed power cutback.
Go to Motor settings > General > Advanced to find the setting.

Good luck sorting this out and please share what you learned about the “absolute maximum current” - this is a point of confusion for me. I was unable to set it lower than 400 amps on my most recent build and don’t really understand the implications.
