Check for faults. In the terminal, type faults. Turning off the ESC will clear the faults, so leave it on until you check.

Bro, you are a super hero. I was so discouraged and was gonna throw the whole build away and give up. I would’ve never figured that out. Thank you so much. It is working.

You can also update the firmware to the newest version if you want. HOWEVER, I strongly recommend that if it’s working, don’t mess with it…
When it breaks, then the rules totally change

…should i install a bluetooth module in my build? I have a MakerX Mini Foc +, which unlike other ESC (i.e. Unity) doesn’t come with a BT integrated. my thinking is that id do this to be able to programme my ESC without having to take everything apart…good idea or not?
(and if I SHOULD get a BT module, which one is good…i can only see FS ones…?)
Get the BLE for TCP bridge feature, so program ur vesc using the vesc tool pc version which has a better UI (I’m just rephrasing what @b264 would say )
Not sure where u at, but bkb also sells BLE module.

im in the UK so BKB is not possible. only one i can see is this , and i try to avoid FS electrionics if poss…any other options for EU folk?
the BKB stock the FS ones…would rather try another brand
Get a metr (soon metr can) or a infinity logger (iLogger)
How would one fight this? Remove it or stop it from spreading.

This might be big dumb, but do you need an XT90-S when connecting your battery to a Stormcore 60D? Or can a regular xt90 be used?

pretty much all nrf51 will work, if u want a even better feature BLE, metr or ilogger is also an option like @xsynatic said, both also support programming the vesc.
all stormcores already has anti spark built in, but it doesn’t hurt to have xt90s on ur battery as well. just remember to plug it in firmly
Edit: 100S may or may not has an anti spark built in, please double check once its released officially

Trampa one is good
Buy another brand that does not engrave their damn logo deep on the can

you could rub it down with gun oil to remove the rust and then just keep the can oiled, maybe put on a layer of clear coat?

I can’t see the benefits of the extra functionality, but if they are more reliable then I’ll get them.
i don’t have the ilogger, but my metr module is crazy 
ymmv but i have confidence in it

Can it double-up as an anti-theft device (ie you can trace the board if it gets stolen)?

nope, the GPS tracking function rely on the connection with ur phone’s GPS signal, i don’t think it would work the way u imagine it to be. the only product that I remember has active GPS signal would be the GPS tracker that BKB sells awhile ago, but I don’t know if Jared still sells them anymore. personally I don’t think an anti theft device for our esk8, since we bring it everywhere, even into shops and restaurants… 
Yeah I’m thinking more about getting mugged in the street for it

sadly not…I was going to jump in when they were 10$ but sold out in minutes
The solution for the gps thing could be metr CAN if you connect an external gps module (like i have)
but it still would need to be in reach for the phone to connect and read the data. Still not ideal

ur life worth more than ur board, just let it out if it comes to that.
if u really don’t plan to go down without a fight, then bring a strobe ready flashlight with you when u ride, sudden extreme brightness will blind them enough time for u to get out even in day time (tested this on a friend, he kicked my ass so hard afterwards)

just a random idea: something like a Tile BLE tracker will stay in range with ur phone and connected, and if that connection is lost, it will trigger a phone notification or a ring, so u r aware of it, but this is still not the best method for active GPS tracking imo
