Hello Fellow Esk8ters
I would like to introduce something very special from SKP
Meet Solo
Solo is a compact High voltage Vesc based ESC
There is SOOO MUCH work that went into this and will continue to go into it to refine and make this ESC the best it can be.
It all started when I decided I wanted a little bit more out of my already incredibly powerful esk8s.
Solo achieves this by allowing motor current setting of up to 140amps. In combination with a well designed 638x or 631xx size motor or larger…solo has an incredible way of satisfying that want for torque that we are all have.
Below are some specs and information that is also available on the website
Based on the VESC project, SKP brings you a compact, powerful, robust motor controller. The SKP Solo is a DRVless design.
Power Specs:
4-18s li-ion safe operating voltage (16-75.6v)
80 AMP Battery current
140 AMP Motor current
6kw peak operating wattage
For best results controller needs to be mounted to a heat sink exposed to airflow
Features/info
CAN,HALL,UART,PPM,IMU
Built in Bluetooth
On/off feature with any latching switch.
10AWG supply cable and xt90 male connector
12awg phase cable and 4mm female bullet connectors
What you get:
-Single
1 - SKP solo
1 - SKP solo single heatsink and housing
1 - SKP latching switch
-Dual
2 - SKP solo
1 - SKP dual mount heatsink and housing
1 - canbus cable
1 - SKP switch wired to turn on/off both Solo controllers
-For Top mount box dual
2 - SKP solo
1 - SKP dual mount heatsink for top mount box and housing
1 - canbus cable
1 - SKP switch wired to turn on/off both Solo controllers
In this configuration the heatsink does not have airflow cooling ribs…it will bolt directly into a 3Dservisas top mount box, we suggest the taller box for beat fitment
Design Considerations:
Going into this project in the middle of a silicon shortage was pretty ambitious, one of our design considerations was to make this Motor controller manufacturable under current and possibly worsening silicon conditions. We firmly believe the SKP Solo ESC has achieved that. We sourced components that are well stocked and are likely to remain well stocked, the controller is also designed in a way that allows for easy modification should any of the current components go out of stock and others need to be used instead.
A huge consideration was power. After spending thousands of hours and thousands of miles riding a variety of motor controllers that are available to the market it became very evident that there was a need for a motor controller that can offer a bit more power to push our already incredibly powerful PEVs to the next level.
Size and cost are a major consideration as well. Although you will find that the heat sink for the SKP solo makes the controller a bit taller than some of the controllers out there right now, it is still very compact and will fit most existing electric skateboards and PEVs and will reliably push your motors and your PEV to the next level.

This controller was designed by @shaman and alpha units tested by respectable forum members who might chime into the discussion.
