Thoughts on Flipsky VX1

How much can they usually go without recharging?
I heard from some early posts above its usually 2-4 days?

(As reference, my non-telemetry meepo remote can go around a month before needing to recharge)

Same here l. I keep forgetting my meepo remotes run on batteries

Who are your customers?

I have European and UK Customers which I’ve primarily sold to either in person, via my small forum shop or on Ebay. I am already in the process of placing larger orders to open up my own shop though.

If I remember to keep it off and ride an hour a day it’ll go a week or more - I suppose it does depend though. If you leave it on for a long time it does drain down quite quickly.

I currently can’t get my vx1 to work. Its connected but nothing happens when i accelerate. Appears on both vescs. UART is enabled.

Did it not work out of a sudden? Or it never worked?
You connected it using UART? Have you tried PPM?
Did the receiver board light up?

Reload the firmware on the vesc, I had the same issue

All of the sudden basically. The receiver lights up and connects to the remote like it should but the throttle etc won’t work. Connected via UART but haven’t tried PPM because i have to remove it from the 3D printed casing first.

I’ll try ppm first and then reload the Firmware. Just don’t want to touch my vesc anymore after i got it to work via can bus after several hours of trying. Still don’t knoe how i did it.

Have you run the input wizard in the VESC tool app again? Does it detect the pulse length?

Wasn’t it like that UART won’t need programming via the input wizard?

I am not 100% sure because I did tried running my VX1 on UART once and if I am not mistaken, I did run the wizard :slight_smile:

But I am now running it via PPM so I can’t confirm…

So I got a response from Flipsky as well as the ebay seller I actually got it from. From Flispky I got the info that they don’t sell the receiver separately and the seller wanted a video of the defect. After sending that video they said they will replace the whole thing :slight_smile: Now I can try if the remote binds to two receivers :wink:

Doesn’t effectively regulate speed for me, just accelerates or decelerates as soon as enabled.

Yeah thats the tricky part. It has to be spot on when you enable it.

Got a test remote of vx2, its not working correct with Unity, 1 motor spins wrong way(yes I tried change direction in focbox app) and telemetry dont work correct.

I’ve had that happen with my vx1 a few times when putting my board into reverse. Not using a unity though

Does anyone have an extra higher capacity lipo they would sell me? I saw a couple amazon listings came in multiples and don’t want to wait from china. I would greatly appreciate an 850-1000 mah that works in the VX1 since I just ordered my own!

I’ve own a few other and the vx1 is definitely my favorite lots of feature and the speed modes is very useful. The lowest green is perfect for cruising
