Oh right, I forgot that you already mentioned that
how did you reflash the chinese ling-yi escs? :o
ohh so the factory still did it 
Hobbywing is the only non-VESC ESC that allows you to program it.
only the version in the exway can be changed settings with the bluetooth app.
The ownboard ones cant be changed by regular people. you’d need a factory flasher tool

There was the FreeFly ARC200, although theya re o longer manufactured. Arguably the best ESC ever made, wish it had gotten more support.

Wow, those look great. Seems like it might be hard to find one to buy now.

Well I finally got my shortboard operational. I appear to have exercised the demon spirit that was haunting it 
I wanted to report back that extending the wheelbase (from 17" to 21.5") has completely eliminated the initial issues I encountered. No more wheelies and I keep my back foot rested on the back tail at all times. Acceleration is also super smooth (though I did have to learn how to lean forward).
This board rides like a dream and I am very impressed by the chinese ESC. This ESC put out a constant 50A with 100A burst (belt motor variant), so I’ve had no trouble racing uphill on the SF hills that surround my apartment. I just can’t believe how incredibly smooth the acceleration is considering how powerful it is, and the braking is even smoother*. I never would have expected to be able to accelerate up these hills with this ESC.
I have a Maker-X dual on the way, but it’s good to know that chinese ESCs run out of the box like a tuned VESC**. I’m eager to upgrade to VESC, but glad I have a perfectly viable alternative.
*Note: This is when using a Meepo MR remote, with adjustable acceleration and braking curves. Most people who used these ESCs are using the old first remote, which has poor curves and a poor throw.
** Note: Chinese ESCs need to be paired with the right gearing and KV ratings to get my results. Without this pairing, VESC is your best option, due to the 8000rpm limiter.

He’s probably referring to the newest LingYi ESC, is my guess

Yup, it’s the 10S LingYi ESC, but it’s for belt motors and has higher RPM limit than the hub version that Meepo uses. The remote upgrade makes a big difference.
