What are you using that’s 87v?

To be fair to the manufacturers, I think there generally are safety margins factored in. IIRC the flipsky 75100s use 100v rated MOSFETs and caps, and they sell them as 20S/84V max products, that doesn’t look like skirting the line to advertise maximum numbers. Maybe I’m inadvertently cherry picking or being pedantic, but I think a lot of known failures like the spintend fires or the doomed 100D are down to flawed designs rather than overzealous marketing. If you use a 100V fet at 75V and blow it up because of poor layout idk if that’s a voltage problem

I think back EMF and power up generates voltage spikes that will toast those if you have a higher voltage source

There is a reason why unity (60v) was made for a 10s board, but people still run then at 12s daily, and some crazy even go 13s on them.
Idk how much headroom is needed in esk8 application, as I assume different electronic system have different standard
But my 100d that I ran with 12s did not bitch about anything or spit out a single error the whole time I had it

I would just like to thank you for refunding me $30 even though I purchased one and only found out about the discount code literally moments afterwards.

Talking about the flipsky75100. Derailed.
I do have this dv4 coming and said just shipped.

Noo! I just purchased mine less then 24 hours ago and didn’t realize that was a discount code available. I feel so f-ing stupid right now!

What is the max amp draw on the 5v pin?

You do not want to draw any significant amount of power off of the 5v line. That is the same 5v powering your receiver keeping your face off the pavement.

I will be using it to replace my old unity and I currently have my brake lights(Arduino nano+ ~10cm led strip) in parallel with my resiever. I just wanted to make sure that I won’t run into any issues when changing out the old for the new vesc.

Yes, no problem

I highly recommend not continuing riding with that implementation.
One single issue with your lighting system can get you really hurt.

I hate how stuff like this can still leave experienced builders unsure.

Tbf, this is my very first time doing AWD and never read much on it.
I’m sure most who’ve done AWD on vesc know the answer

AFAIK if they are running firmware from the same VESC Tool release they will always work, but I can’t say for certain about cracked firmware

So small, and really nice looking solder joints on those phase wires!

Has anyone tried fitting this esc into a hurricane?
