That is a higher quality charger with no fan/noise but yeah that’s also why it’s pricey.
What cheapest reliable dual vesc would you recommend for 12s setup @ 100 amps battery? Wana go brrrrrrr on 5kw
cheap AND high-performance?
Of the trio from which you get to pick two
- cheap
- good
- fast
If you want to choose cheap and good, then you sacrifice fast. I would suggest hand soldering two Little FOCers yourself.

If I have 2 single 4.12 vescs connect via canbus, can I have a UART receiver connected to one vesc and a UART Bluetooth module connected to the other?
Should work totally fine, for safety reasons I would always put the remote receiver on the master side UART port and all the telemetry related devices on a slave side UART port

That’s what I planned on doing, but thank you!
And what options if my bud whats cheap & reliable vesc-based controller?
The main way to get reliable is to
- start with high quality equipment
- turn settings down and don’t approach the performance limits
So buy good parts, run at 10S, keep “battery max” low, et cetera.

One of the two times I’ve taken a Lyft home was for a broken kingpin

Yeah, I had that experience in my Skater youth. Such things only break on sundays- bearings, kingpins etc.
Just one shitty spare kingpin or bearing like you mentioned can safe your ride home.

Keep in mind the Cheap FOCer only does 35A battery.
That’s only 3528 watt at theoretical maximum voltage not accounting for inefficiency, far from the 5kW you’re looking for.
Oi oi. What’s going on? How can I help?

What’s the traction difference like between TB 110s vs something like a berg tyre on a ‘wet’ road?
Took a fall yesterday as a tiny bit of speed wobble was enough to lose grip to the road, reminded me how poor thane is in the wet

That’s an easy question. Thane is never going to be better than a correctly aired numie. Never.
Not in the wet. The surface area of a hard wheel is always going to be less secure than any kind of tyre.
They spread and spit water. Thane doesn’t. Regardless of the duro or the quality.

I figured as much, it surprised me how little it took while going in a straight line for my front end to be taking a corner I wasn’t! I wouldn’t really even describe the road as wet so much as that it had rained an hour or so before and there was a semi damp surface!

Dude. When I first got my 110s I was stoked. They were so solid.
The grip was ridiculous until I hit some leaves. I swung out across a pretty busy road and some poo came out.
It was a glorious event which looked better than the reality. Thane is not good in the wet. Its not. Just be careful. If you want grip in the wet then go numies.
Or be @b264. My bro Brian. He does not give a fuck. Rides in all weather. I am a bit more of a Pussy.

I don’t recommend thane on wet at all. But sometimes you need to skate somewhere, and the sky decides to pee on you. That, or someone just washed their car and there is a big section of wet street you’re heading towards at 2/3 throttle. When that’s the case, imho the TB110 in 72A are best thane for that. It’s also like driving a car in the rain or on snow. Slow down, and be careful.
