v4.12
To be clear this is squarely in the “my fault” territory.

We talking Maytech, Flipsky, focbox, 4.12 RadioShack Edition? I’m just curious which manufacturer you’re using. If it’s an older/original revision 4.12 you can pretty easily stabilize them to 50-60amp by replacing about 8x 0603 caps that were improperly spec’d.

This is all ‘our fault’ territory. Survival of the fittest in consideration, we’re pretty retarded for loving this sport. It’s an assumed risk imo.

Sorry for your loss.

I haven’t actually had hands on those but I’ll ask Dexter which version bom those were using. It might be an easy enough fix.

just curious what firmware you’re running?

this sounds the ranting of a crazy man, but i swear i got more drv faults each time i upgraded my firmware, until my tb4.12’s ended up in a drawer

i feel i owe it to dex to pull them back out, downgrade to 3.103, and give them a test ride. i’ve been reluctant to do it because of how freaked out i was to lose breaks going downhill…

I run my heatsinked 4.12s at 50 battery amps and 70 motor amps, I think you just have a bad joint on the DRV.

That’s not a super excessive amount you’ve got there, but you’re part of the problem. You’re gonna run out of food before you run out of toilet paper, meanwhile people who just ran out of TP like a few of my friends can’t get any :angry:

@jeffwuneo, what are the specs on the motor? Looks like it’d be great for smaller builds.

Those are boosted motor I believe, 5045 I think
