No NO No
YOu go to orginal from Spintend Page…
I decided to persist with 5.2 and not do anything FW related, vesc magic worked on the third pass
Haha wouldn’t that be great.
Assumptions are the mother of all fuck ups
Advice I give all the time, but seldom follow.

@Oefianer I should mention, I had been to that page but the FW isnt available for download there, there is no link only an image of the file

No, just as the focbox unity can’t handle 13s at 50v .
If u go down a hill fully charged with regen braking you’ll be over voltage . 15/16s at a push

I noticed the other day that i dont have any odometer readings . I’ve been through settings a number of times but can’t seem to find a reason, any place i should be looking/reasons for it not tracking?

I always chop those garbage connectors off. Anti spark… yea something like that.
Phase current. I should have read the fine print lol
My fuse to my 12v ports has failed open. At least I think it has. When I turn on my board the headlight turns on immediately and doesn’t turn off, but I cannot get the brakelight to turn on at all. However, the horn port works normally. All three use the same resettable fuse rated for 3a, so given the different behavior of each port, I’m not so sure it’s the fuse… Anyone, experience anything like this?
I removed the taillight/brakelight relay and connected everything directly to the 12v ports, and yeah it looks like the fuse failed open. It’s a resettable fuse, but apparently its been damaged… Anyone know which one of these should be replaced?
Do you know which chips I cut out to solve the can issue?

all aboard the CAN’T BUS oh wait nvm get off its broken.
I’ve just finished building a skateboard for a friend. He purchased a 75V Ubox directly from Spintend back in mid February.
On first startup it didn’t detect the battery voltage correctly and has been showing only 80% of whatever pack I connect. After 4 weeks of emails, videos and stepping through diagnostics with Spintend, they have finally come back that it’s faulty voltage regulation resistors on the board.
Spintend have said to replace the resistors, but these things are tiny and my soldering skills are definitely not up to the task, plus it’s not something an end user should have to do. I have offered to ship it back to them at my cost for repairs but now Spintend are denying the warranty and will not replace or repair the Ubox even though it’s still within their 60 day warranty period.
I’m going to post this around several sites as a warning to everyone. Spintend do not stand up to their warranty and to purchase from them at your own risk. I used to recommend them. It’s a shame when companies can’t see how poor service can quickly destroy their brand especially in an enthusiast market like Esk8.

I think they know they are in China and there is no recourse for purchasers and if there is it’s too much effort. Until they start warranting their products, I’d only buy them from an actual shop where you can walk in the door and ask for a refund. Their products are great… but expensive vescs are too risky to purchase if they don’t honour warranties.

Why can’t you just do a charge back on your credit card?
