Not a lot of ethical choice at the moment.

This one based on specs, price and the remote combo has everything we need in most of the case.
Still waiting from reviews. Apparently few unites got bought from some community members.
@John-Spintend is the developer

Looks pretty cool haven’t had a chance to do any real testing. Little on the fat side for a single stack unless you cut the enclosure…
According to Instagram comments psychotiller has been testing them as well.

Ah Woow! Finally someone got it. I really hope they perform as advertised.

Do you use it in FOC mode oder in BLDC? For how long?
I am a little bit insecure about flipsky as so many of you have reported about defects. But I would use it for 8S and 60A continuous Motor Currents (dual, so 30A each, FOC). So actually far away from its maximum

To be clear, i’ve broken every ESC I’ve ever tried, including one unity during beta testing. That one turned out to be ok after it was scrubbed and reflowed, but we’ve blown up everything. Including an ARC200.

if you had to choose between unity or this (performance wise) which would you choose?
I don’t know Spintend from adam, but that thing is built like an off road ESC. I haven’t tried them yet. It definitely would not fit in one of my witchblades, its 44mm tall.

Hmm the one I have in hand is only 25mm…
And you can easily gain 3.5mm from the mounting point thickness+enclosure thickness if you throughmount it. Bringing it right into that 18-20mm sweet spot.
@luis99945 there’s little to no testing on these spintend esc’s compared to Unity’s. But on paper it looks a hell of a lot better DRVless design, 75v max vs 60V a nice thick heatsink/case. Support for lights, horn and bms monitoring, all for less than a unity with a half decent remote. Not to mention I got an email everyday after receiving the product asking if I had recieved it or if there where any issues and asking for feedback. So customer service also seems good, something that’s pretty much non existant for the unity.
The power button is orgasmic tho, it’s the cherry blue of power buttons lol

I was waiting on posting more info on these until I had done some more testing/bought some more for myself but they’re sold out already

I wonder if you have the same unit, or maybe its a typo. 25mm is doable. I could use these in that case but i’d need a larger enclosure to fit the extra pgroups anyway.

It’s definitely the same unit ordered from their webpage and it’s definitely not 44mm tall!
113x83x25 (28mm if you include the socket cap bolt height but those can always be replaced)

Also judging by the picture is not 44mm tall. That’s almost 2". It’s a typo I guess.
@stratoglide I am so badly waiting for you test it out. I am so ready to grab one of these babies

Thank skatan. a 44mm tall ESC would have no business in esk8 unless it was bolted to the back of an e-toxx.

Yes definitely. 44mm is maybe just for mountain board. 25 with heatsink is totally manageable and probably you can design an additional heat sink to be mounted in the enclosure and gain more space.

It’s unpopular, but there’s a regular supply of focbox unities shipping now. Lol better than they had ever shipped before I think.
I understand there’s some controversy, but it’s absolutely not possible to beat what you get with the unity for the current pricing of $196 ea. Especially now with VESC FW support.
Until any of these new brands get more of a reputation I think it remains the best option.

I run 2 unites and for 12s application is really good.
Its because I need a 14s vesc that I am looking for something else.
