yes…wait, esc also should have bootloader right? I’ve only learnt that from my old days when I still do jailbreaking ios and rooting android 
Keep an eye out on the escs. If you see a red light flashing on either of them you may have other issues.
If what i said still doesn’t work, follow the advice with the bootloader, firmware update, reboot, then try again
Pretty sure even a mildly digital microwave has a bootloader lol

I’m a little confused, I don’t know what a bootloader is. Is it the vesc tool program itself?
that’s what i thought as well, but just want to be sure esc isn’t something special that doesn’t require that
Okay sweet, no errors this time! Thank you guys again

in the vesc tool setting for flashing firmware, there should also be an option to reflash the bootloader. i’ve not touched vesc tool before, @Athrx u know where that button is?

When I make changes to things like battery max, does it automatically apply to both vescs? I read I need to write changes to both motors separately but i don’t get the confirmation at the bottom right when switch vescs (without unplugging the usb and moving it to the second vesc)
**NVM, it seems to update and just not give a confirmation for the second vesc
Should be a tab before or after firmware

Literally nothing applies to both vescs. This is the most fucked thing about it

Also be aware that vesc defaults to something stupid like 99 battery amps/-99 battery regen amps
Also in most cases you don’t need brakes with the same amps as acceleration
I currently run
Motor: 80/-50
Battery: 30/-17
For each vesc
Don’t pass motor maximum rated amps unless you already confirmed while riding it doesn’t overheat
Don’t pass battery discharge rating, ever.
Battery regen can be 2-3x the fast charge rating of the cells comfortably. You will only use as much as you need, but it is very important to have brakes at speed in an emergency (the only situation you will max out battery regen)
Also set ramp down time (in app config, vesc remote) to something like 0.8s. you’ll thank me later lol

Right now I have
Motor: 50/-40
Battery: 30/-12
For each vesc, with 2 fsesc 4.20 and a 10s4p 30q pack, which I think should be fine. I’ve seen some people use 40 as the battery max but i feel like i need a bit more breathing room than that. Also 120 for the absolute batt max.
Sensorless BLDC mode doesn’t require any additional setup besides just selecting it for each vesc right?
is it the negative ramping time?

when in doubt, toss it into a bag of rice? At least that’s what i’d do
maybe disassemble it first too

You don’t carry bags of rice when you skate? That’s odd. You’re probably the only person who doesn’t
