I feel like the cpu it’s the vesc and the motors are the screen😂
Totally agree! The thing is that space and money it’s needed to accomplish that!

The answer is no
If cost is a concern of yours you should not be considering anything above 12S as it’s likely going to inflate costs wildly. Now, and later when you break stuff.
If you use LiFePO4 then 14S is fine. 14 * 3.65V = 51.1V

Not unless you want a broken DV6 instead
please don’t, unless u plan on riding without brake the first 20% of ur capable range
awe, sadface. I was hoping it was like the unity and could do like 55V
If these handled 14S then everyone would just be sad they didn’t handle 16S.
There’s going to be a line somewhere, and folks are going to be upset they can’t cross it

The Unity isn’t rated for that either.

haven’t people had success running 13s on the unity?

u can run the unity with 13s liion, but u can’t brake. if u r willing to take the risk, go for it. u’ve been warned
just because someone did, doesn’t mean u should

Sure, there are people who ride hot air balloons standing on top, too. Does that mean the hot air balloon carries guests on top, and you can just climb up there?

I’m not gonna risk it, I don’t even have a unity, but dang I wish I could bend these rules w/o breaking them.

ugh, you don’t gotta remind me.
gravity is a real pain too… and newton’s 3rd law can eat a dick sometimes…

I know, we always want what we can’t have!
The thing is that I personally like maker x products and is kinda sad they don’t have a product that suits my needs (more like my whim😂)

I can always brake with my face!
I don’t plan on going more than 12s on the unity as it isn’t safe, i was just wondering if it is possible to make it safe!
I will check how much money I can spend on a new controller and decide! Thanks for your help guys!

I am so with you on this one. I really wish they’d make a 14s VESC that’s cheaper than the ubox. a sort of middle ground.
Hi guys! I’ve been away for 6 months, and thought I depleted the battery on my longboard, which I did not, therefore it’s been slowly draining itself over time. Is there anything I should think of when I recharge the battery again? Or can I go back to normal usage straight away!
It depends on how low it discharged itself.

I have a davega connected to it, I’ll check when I get home, and replay! Thx

Hey, all. I ordered a Beast Box and it came with a power switch. I need some help as to where the leads go, please.
I assume that the Red goes to 5V and Black to negative (correct me if I’m wrong, please.) Then where does the white lead go?
And if I want to retain the battery level monitor, shall I leave it connected to the battery’s leads or solder them to the red and black leads of the switch?
The board currently uses a loop key, so I’m wondering whether these switches are as reliable. I see other ESCs that require an antispark cable for their switches. Does the VESC6 MkV still needs that?
Lots of questions so thank you very much. Merry Christmas.
(Ignore the NRF dongle that’s currently connected to the COMM port on the second photo)
