It’s a VESC 6.6 Plus. It would be great if someone could!
If you can wait for delivery from HK, I think these should work
I’m pretty sure stainless steel bearings are the standard and what most people use; the only alternative I know of are ceramic bearings, which should in theory roll faster (less friction so more efficiency) and are also harder than steel. Though since they are harder, they’re also more brittle and won’t deform like steel will (ceramic has a lower load capacity). So if you ride on crappy roads or go offroad (and are on the heavy side) I wouldn’t recommend them.
That said, ceramic is also more corrosion resistant, have less thermal expansion (nice for riding at high speeds when bearings warm up), and (should theoretically, not sure about in actual practice) have a longer fatigue life than steel bearings.

As an owner of 2 vesc 6+, that is not a vesc 6+

But wait, if stainless is the standard, how the hell do most bearings rust to fuck at the nearest hint of water?
Ceramics are overpriced and their failure mode has way greater risks than steel
The bearings in your link are pretty much exactly what i’m looking for, except for the metal shielding

Yes, that is a flipsky esc based on vesc, it’s also a dual.
This is an actual vesc:
It is designed by Benjamin Vedder himself and sold by trampa.
If you want to find out what fell out, people need to know exactly what it is and from where.
There are plenty of guys using that flipsky controller so it might be worth putting up a separate thread if no one shows up here after a while

Honestly not sure, after some more researching chrome/carbon steel bearings might be the common type? Which does seem to be more susceptible to rust.
But if your stainless bearings are rusting, my guess is that after enough usage the layer of chromium eventually wears off allowing a layer of ferric oxide to form instead of chromium oxide. Though take what I’m saying with a grain of salt, I’m definitely not an authority to speak on this stuff, I just have a little knowledge of material science.
Yeah and its why I’ll never get any 
Hmm sorry about that, all that comes up for me are metal shielded bearings in that size

I figured most would know which I meant when I said 6.6+ rather than the 6 which the Trampa is but my bad. I just put it on here to ask the initial question. As @mkeboard suggested its a surface mount resistor from the heatsink side of the ‘Vesc’ (Flipsky 6.6+) I have more photos if someone was kindly willing to help if they have the same controller.

Where do i buy spare set screws for motor pulleys?

Given that it is a dual, is there an identical resistor for the other side of the controller?

My battery stops charging at 48.7V, is this a problem? FYI I’ve only seen 50V about 5 times in the last year+ 12s6p 30Q cells

Help me not burn my Vesc’s or board please!!! I have 2 Li-ion batteries I was given for work done at the local college which each have their own individual BMS that controls charging and current output. I was initially going to use one, but they are only rated for 15A discharge which is abysmal. I want to put both on the board but not run them in parallel, I want the 2 Vesc’s to be independently powered with their own dedicated battery. I know I need two power switches, but can anyone come up with any downfalls to this design. I never plan to run the board without both on and plan on connecting the vesc’s with a canbus cable and having one designated master and the other slave. I read that if i don’t do that, there might be motor sync issues on my dual motors. Please help!!
home depot and lowes have them if you’re in the states

Is your charger supplying 50.4v?

yes it reads 50.6V
How old is the pack? How many cycles?
That doesn’t seem too bad to me if its over a year old, but I am not an expert with batteries.
I can ask one of the E.E. guys at work tomorrow for you if you want.

over a year…more like 1.5 - 2 years old. don’t know how many cycle …yes please do
I looked last night and it read but was wondering if anyone would be able to confirm
