THE New Go-FOC DV4s

Would it surprise you if there were two more fets… on the other side?

It would, cause cooling them in the most efficient way becomes difficult double side mounted

While I see your point, thats not the arguement.

Most FETs, including those in the picture. are best cooled from the underside, thru the PCB. Cooling them thru the case does very little in comparision. Look at the old VESC 4.x design f.e one of the big flaws was the FETs beeing belly to belly. This propagates the heat onto eachother. Which obviosuly wasn’t very good :smiley:

Sure you could do a staggered layout(avoiding belly to belly but double side mounted) That would require a bit complex heatsink tho.

The direct FETs f.e is very different ofc. they can be efficiently cooled from both sides.

Like I said, I’m open to beeing wrong here. I have 0 insight to the actual performance :slight_smile:

I have a funny felling MakerX is going to take over the VESC market.

It would be cool to see MakerX next year at ESK8con!

Do these have the same form factor /size as a unity?

What connectors come with these, if any?
4mm bullets and xt90?

96x60x19.5mm Is the stated size.
So I was curious.

@YUTW123 I find myself wanting one now and I’ve obviously missed the pre-sale. When are they going back on sale?
