I have 5 Flipsky FSESC 6.6 DUAL with big caps and no built-in antispark and currently use 4 of them.

One build uses 80100 dual motors with 120A battery and motor max amps through NO LIMIT firmware.

ZERO issue.

Did you ever use this specific ESC?

I donā€™t know about other Flipsky ESCs, I donā€™t use them I can not say.

haha look it up on facebook, let us know how quickly you get banned for being a ā€œforum karenā€ or as I like to call it ā€œkarumā€

I do not use facebook, nevermindā€¦
and I backpaddled and gave my setup below the video
I would not recommend the flipsky at the price it is at nowā€¦ for less than 250$ maybe.
and good luck finding escapesā€¦

With IC shortages, it may become that the best ESC is whichever one is actually still available.

By editing that, you admit you were wrong for once. Good for you.

  1. Good budget ā€œdumbā€ or non-VESC for 30amp, 40amp, 50+amp, etc.
  2. Starter FOC/VESC for single motor
  3. Starter FOC/VESC dual motor
  4. Intermediate FOC/VESC single motor capable
  5. Intermediate FOC/VESC dual motor capable
  6. Money is no object for my build
  7. Ultra cheap but gets the job done

Can we have some suggestions for each item based on the criteria in the respective item?

I hate to pester and really enjoyed the convo thus farā€¦ however, I would really appreciate some answers for these questions?

Yup, fair enough. Apologies for gumming up the works.

  1. Good budget ā€œdumbā€ or non-VESC for 30amp, 40amp, 50+amp, etc.

Hobbywing ESC, no question. Would not run past 40A, though.

  1. Starter FOC/VESC for single motor

Flipsky 4.12 or 4:20 (my pair of 4.20 singles still work fine after 2+ years).

  1. Starter FOC/VESC dual motor

Maker-X DV4.

  1. Intermediate FOC/VESC single motor capable

Not sure thereā€™s one I would recco.

  1. Intermediate FOC/VESC dual motor capable

Xenith for me. (Still plan to get one.)

  1. Money is no object for my build

Stormcore 100S singles or 100D. Also Trampa Vesc6 are pricey but rock solid.

  1. Ultra cheap but gets the job done

Again, Maker-X DV4.

Hope that helps.

Old eMTB Overhaul. Possible? what would you do?

A Unity* at 150A++ motor max and a large motor is really good for this.
* ā€œUnityā€ is any of the Unity, Unity+, Xenith, Xenith V2, or Tenka controllers, although Tenka has smaller current capabilities than the other four

Buy a fleet of three Kaly XL-R boards.

A China 'thane board prebuilt like Meepo or Exway, with motors inside the wheels.

VESC 4.12 and a single 6369+ motor capped at 25A battery max and 10S

I have the same experience, my pair of FSESC Miini 4.20 singles also work great still. Just keep the battery maximum turned down.

Am I right in saying the 4.20 is a good deal more reliable than the 4.12? I think the refinements and TVS diode are generally worth the small price increase to the point where Iā€™d really just recommend 4.20 but I havenā€™t compared them myself/need some confirmation

Iā€™m not a fan of the ABS bolts holding the heatsink, but for low-budget builds theyā€™re not terrible if you keep the current turned down. :slight_smile:

Where is that fantastic place?
