that is what I want to avoid.
yea i bought straight from llt, took a minute tho because they had to make more 14s bms at the time when i needed it for my scoot but the stock should be back to normal now.

+rep for Spintend for providing me with a new unit after mine burnt down with zero cost. After contacting via email, the package was shipped next day and arrived in 9 days to Lithuania, I think this is the fastest I have got anything from China.

I am finally ready to program the vesc. I got everything setup!! Battery, motors, gear drives, etc. Do I need to update the spintend i got less than 6 months ago? Can I use the latest VESC software from https://vesc-project.com/ ? Is there anything to know since Spintend is based on VESC but not official VESC?
Use the custom firmware from Spintends’s site.

Thank you for your reply @BillGordon Here is a response email I got from Spintend:
There is no Windows version in the Google Drive link. So I do not know what to use exactly…
Also they say in the email that I do not need to update firmware but they provide one on their website.
Is there any step by step guide for Spintend ubox? I am afraid to mess things up.

You must have a newer release with proper firmware. Cool. Now just follow the Vesc Tool guide (on the official site/choose medium outrunner) and you’ll be good to go.

Ubox can handle that easily. Just be careful about adding another series group

so I hear if you go from 12 to 16S the same amount of heat gets you farther up the hill

oh course - heat = amps
20amps * 42v =840w
20amps * 60v = 1200w
same heat

I just had a strange dream where they made the spintend slightly bigger then @b264 was making an AWD with one old one and one new one.
Am I thinking about diy esk8 too much!?!?
