Are the flier escs working?
Any issies detected so far?
Is the issue with the different powers gone?

The only issue you may have is needing larger balls to handle the Mamba torque. XD

May i ask why there are 6 connectors?
Youre running 8s right?
Kr
Each battery is a 10ah 4s Brick. Two Bricks wired in series is 8s. Sets of bricks are then wired in parallel.
The xt90 works for battery connectors for series parallel.
Use these antispark connectors for the ESC. I put the anti spark terminal on the negative ESC side. Would not hurt to use these for the batt Conn as well.

Xlx2 still has the off coasting slight drag Brake when reintroducing throttle issue. We have raced the ESC. The issue has not been resolved by castle. My xlx2 are on my go to board. I have gotten used to it but I will keep after Castle.
I suggest anyone running the castle esc to file a complaint/concern with castle. Squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Ok guys i have some updates:grimacing:
I was taljing with @philo regarding the flier escs he ordered from r-mamba_brushless (ebay)
For now they seem to run he is doing dome testing at the moment.
@philo thx again for all the info
Now the only issue he noticed is a function called ABS breaking. It should simulate a hard braking like real cars do for rc cars. Maybe good for rc cars but not for us standing on a board. This function cant be fully disabled and is noticable at hard breaks so philo told me.
So i contacted Rafael from r-mamba and he contacted flier and as it seems they will deliver a custom fw with smooth braking for eskates.
This is the original conversation:
So ill go for a dual r-mamba/flier esc to test this out and will tell you guys how its working.
If its working well those escs will really be a good bang for the buck
Ill let you know how it turned out
Kr and thx for the help @MoeStooge and all the others

I love these “under the hood” shots. Even in ESk8, there’s something special about peeking inside at the inner workings of a cutting edge race vehicle.

that much for one esc? definitely costs more than a dual vesc to do 2wd

Yeah but a dual vesc wont deliver 200a per motor

Unless that final 20A really means that much to you, there’s always the MakerX Go-FOC DV6 Pro dual that’ll give you 180A per side for $275.
Just for clarity, that does require custom firmware, which is allegedly being uploaded soon. VESC Tool only lets you set up to 120 per side
And I was told that it is 180A / side or 360A total, for 10 seconds.

There is no way that Go-FOC DV6 is going to deliver 180A per side*. I doubt it could do half of that or less.
* for longer than some milliseconds

As I just said, 10s is the claim. I kind of believe it because I’ve seen them do load testing in house before
10s isn’t much - at the same time, no clue how anyone could manage to pull that on an esk8
I don’t know how much they manage to pull from these RC esc’s either, hard to say I think

You’re most probably right. I’m by no means an expert on such matters. I’m just reiterating their claims. Would you feel comfortable taking that up with MakerX directly on the relevant thread? It would be great to get a clearer understanding of the capabilities and caveats.
