So @Lee_Wright are you now on test batch or second batch? It didn’t seem clear

I guess I’m in the production batch mate so will just do my own testing

So you don’t have a tracking number and a package that should arrive in the next few days?

Do you feel any differences between the v6 neobox and the v4 focbox?

Tbh I dont really feel a difference, but I have just done two rides so that might change, more testing coming up.

Should you feel a difference?

Probably in throttle uniformity, no?

Shouldn’t you between a vesc 6 and a vesc 4?

Low end torque improvement from memory :slightly_smiling_face:

Absolutely

The difference is quite stark when you try one then the other. V6 feels smoother and more refined in FOC mode compared to V4 HW. It’s hard to say exactly how it feels different but just generally smoother - its quite noticeable.

Wasn’t there also the behavior that all 4.xx vescs produced at high erpm where it felt like the motor was turbo-ing due to interpolating the 3rd shunt? (I might be wrong about this, I vaguely remember seeing it :man_shrugging:t2:)

Honestly I really liked that feeling it gave, but since 6.xx hw seems to be more reliable/robust without that ‘boost’, I’ll take it any day of the week :thinking:

HW 4 based ESCs have a noticeable loss of power for a bit at like 80% duty cycle, and HW 6 ECSs don’t. Tbh I’ve only experienced this on my friend’s board with a 150KV motor; on 190KV I don’t feel it.

You got couple of these two! WTF!!! Jelly… FUCK THIS RAIN! Just finished my 12s 40t late last night / early this momring finally. Have you finished both of your yet or still procrastinating on them… lol. Well I’n lying, not completely done but all I need to do still is just plug in the bms once I add the charge port and main battery leads and the I’m completely done, so later tomorrow… send you pics once complete. Do the same. And lets ride soon!

PS - You taken a ride with the Neo’s and did you get 4.xx or 6.xx hardware…?

I think rather improved high speed current sensing due to the 3 shunt design. Should run smoother and quieter at higher ERPMs. Low speed behavior should be simmilar

Confirmed ime…

This is the main difference I have actually noticed between these and my focboxes on the same settings and setup… when 3mph from my top speed if I punch the throttle I wouldn’t feel much power from my focboxes, while these still kick even that close to max speed.

@Blasto @RyEnd @jack.luis @Zabdo

What is the status on your not received Neoboxes? Stuck in a particular country? Customs?

Mine are still in Hong kong.

Sending to Germany is many delay now. We push DHL many time but they say we must waiting now.

Is it possible to reroute?

Netherlands (@Creavenger) got it very fast. Maybe send it to him and he then sends it to me.

No is not possible to change now. We have some other shipment stuck going to Australia also for @PimpleExpress. DHL say they can no longer guarantee delivery time, even though we pay more money :roll_eyes:
