First ride was crazy good. @torqueboards thanks for the opportunity to ride. No logs because metr died. Have 4 on the way and will get it back in pronto.
8 miles in. 90 degree heat. First mile took it easy and kept it under 30. Last seven were 30+ on the greenway.
Good to be back riding after fighting issues with escās.
Will do some full throttle pulls and more hills once metr is back online.

what is you esc settings? bat/motor amps?

Should have a lot more available soon.
Just need to test them and finally list that product page. 
@abusfullofnuns Thanks for the feedback.

Have you thought about making a recommended setup video?
Walk a new user through connecting to and using VESC tool. I guess just some links can work too, make it friendly for someone new to DIY.

I can say right now Iām trying to break these just a bit, and only occasionallyā¦
Running no hardware limits firmware, absolute max current 160A, 80-100 battery amps, and 110 motor amps.
Running similar settings in my focboxes and they got fairly hot even with thermal paste to the heatsink plate, and from my limited use with these (still tweaking whole build atm) they heat up significantly less while pushing harder with more amps and bigger tires on the same gear ratio.
A major issue I was having with the focboxes, and probably due to (again, same as all my builds 
) too long battery wires is ABS over current faults. Setting the focboxes to 160A, the latest test firmware that keeps the non-faulted ESC still running, and setting stop time to 40ms helps it not really affect the ride but Iād still stop a hard 5 minute ride with 4-5 overcurrent faults. These ESCs in the same configuration still give me overcurrent faults with the same abs max current limits, but Iāve noticed it happening a bit less than half as much, again with higher motor and battery amp settings. Ultimately, even though I had hoped these wouldnāt throw any overcurrent faults at all, I am not at all surprised since any ESC I put on a build with too long battery wires do the same thing until I add additional capacitors near the ESCs. Iām finishing up my cap bank installation as close to these tonight, and I would be flabbergasted if they still threw any faultsā¦ if they do after getting this installed thatās when Iāll start to worry.
Overall Iām impressed with these so farā¦ but I really have not had enough ride time with them at this point so Iām not making any jundgements but I donāt doubt they will continue to perform. PCBs were very clean, much cleaner solder job than my own.

Nice feedback. Nice to hear that they are performing good for you. Didnāt have any faults today but didnāt go attack any hills in the heat. Iāll definitely be working them over but I doubt that I was pulling 60 amps at any point.

Yeah, already have one done.

When is soon? My MTB itās been 5 months no esc.

Iām sure he will be doing more batches ASAP, my guess is another couple weeks for the proper releaseā¦

Iām excited to see the outcome with this cap bank.
How long are your battery cables btw?
In what scenario do you get the OC faults?
Spinning wheels from start or during acceleration?

Probably about 4 feet round trip past the battery box, and not an ideal setup in the box itself with probably an additional 4-5 feet in the box itself.
Ive maybe gotten 3-4 faults total on these so far (w/o cap bank) whereas my focboxes would spit that out within 5 minutes on a single ride.
It happens on any ESC in there on full throttle around 10-15 mph.
I took it out last night with the additional caps for about 10 minutes, mostly taking it easy. Bumped the motor amps back up to 110A each, reached a max of 210A total, no faults yetā¦ I wasnāt trying to push it, just wanted to make sure it was all functioning initially. Iāll try to push it later on today after I get some coffee.

Could you help me out with my faults? I was getting FAULT_CODE_OVER_TEMP_MOTOR when I was running these motors in a single drive with a focbox, as expected nothing abnormal.
Then I switch to dual Torque6 and Iām getting them on both vescs non-stop on every hard pull. Motors only warm to the touch.
That sounds like a firmware bug that people have been complaining aboutā¦ disable temp sensors? I havenāt had this issue with any firmware personally so thatās really all I could suggestā¦ or try updating to a newer test firmware if youāre up for riding beta firmware to see if that fixes it.

Iād be down with no temp sensors, how do you disable them? Iām pretty good about finger checking for heat after some hard runs.
Except this last ride I almost degloved myself.

pop out the temp sensor pin on the jst
or raise the beta value for motor thermistor to something really high
option #1 is better

I went for #2 (set to max 100000.0 K) because these sensor wires are really nice haggy ones (I know its super easy and not gonna break it). I would rather not fuck wit em at all.
if this still has issues then I can try that instead.

I believe itās the white wire or if you donāt care about sensors. You can disconnect the sensors.
