The sticker probably says ‘void if removed’ :sweat_smile:

Photoshopping it out of the product image probably caused the many month delay.

damn

these two still on sale

Bought one of the singles:




The FETs are ON FDBL0150N80. Looks like red = ground for the switch on this as well. It’s got a ~30x43 mm heatsink held on the FETs by the plastic case.

Also interestingly the date sticker is 7/2020. Guess these sat around a while after being made.

Finely aged VESC. Only the best for you my friend.

I got the 2-in-1 for a fuck-around build; let’s see how it will go.

So it turns out, you still have to connect the two ESCs via the CAN bus ports. Unlike duals that have an internal-ish connection already, you have to connect those two together.

At least the box came with connectors.

I honestly don’t know what I was expecting for something this cheap.

I guess internal CANbus is now a higher end feature of dual VESCs

Those two copper lines are not growing on trees sheesh, extension cables, those do and are free.

You should probably just run the white wires, or the white and black wires for the CAN connection.

I’ll just continue using the connector as is; it seems to work fine now. Mostly because I don’t want to fiddle with crimping.

He is right, you should only be bridging the canh and canl. It’s super easy to remove the extra wires.

You don’t need to crimp.

And I don’t know about that blob of adhesive under it, I never use that. Just gently lift up the tiny plastic finger with a safety pin or the point of a pocket knife.

had to do this a couple of dozen times yesterday, used a brake calliper spring. anything flat enough and thin enough to not break the plastic clip.

plus you can always just solder them on instead of crimping, it’s almost impossible for a human being to get a perfect crimp.

Oh hey; there’s a 3-wire connector and used that.
