VESC based esc dual pro (150A 500A) Beta tester wanted!

I would be happy to do some proper testing, my trampa setup with dual 80100’s and 12s9p 30Q battery combined with my habit of destroying stuff in the woods will surely create a good scenario for testing the limit of theese!

Holy fuck! Should be interesting to see haha

Happy to test the dual and make some videos @Esk8supply.

Will throw it in here and run big power, see if it can handle the woods!

@Lee_Wright you need to do something with your esc case :joy::see_no_evil:

You should not believe your suppliers over exaggerated claims. If it can actually measure 140A per side, you will be very lucky. If you can’t measure the current, you can’t drive the motor at such currents, no matter what the mosfets are rated peak Amp wise. It’s a matter of the shunts, not the mosfets.
We recently tested a 200A continuous rated clone device and it could only measure 120A reliably.
Mosfet wise 200A would be no problem, but the shunts would simply not allow to cope with that Amp flow.

VESC based controllers are not voltage controlled ESCs with no control over the current! Overrating a VESC based ESC is sort of stupid, since it is a current controlled device that would throw an ABS over current fault and would simply cut out if you exceed a safe max peak current rating. Safe means within a region where you can actually measure the currents reliably and precise enough.
Overrating potentially makes users go beyond a safe max current level and that means they are potentially put to danger. If the motor commutation goes wrong during high power drain, a wheel can actually block at full speed.

Yes, I am in the middle of a VESC 6 swap right now actually. I had to butcher the case to put the dongle in and just kinda rode it like that for a month or so :joy:

Im interested as well, I’ve got a dual 6380 build that had a flipsky 6.6 mini esc take a dump.

Awesome work @Esk8supply this one looks strong! I just received my hubs and will start testing the lite version tomorrow, expect my review by the end of the week!

Should fit lengthwise just fine. It should not exceed 22mm

Here are the dimensions, will it fit? @Esk8supply

I don’t see a CAN bus port. Is there one I can solder my own leads to on the pcb?

This looks amazing! Loving all the stuff you’re putting out @Esk8supply! This would make for a pretty bullet proof and feature-full daily commuter build!

I’d say this probably caters best to the mountainboard/trampa community. Hell, I’d put myself down for one if I didn’t get the lite in the last round and still owed you a review :sweat_smile: My choo choo and DDs can’t get here fast enough! Although I wouldn’t be opposed if you wanted to send this in the same shipment :wink:

Eager to see where this goes! Having UART is a huge step up along with using your own remote. When this goes mainstream, I’m definitely getting one!

No sure how many cells you would use? It should fit in the deck

It does have a canbus port, I’ve updated the post

I am going to use a 12s2p so there is plenty of room.

Are there any requirements for being a tester?

I’m down to test out the vescs, if I can’t break it then I don’t know who can

Hopefully this won’t end up in my bin of 20+ dead vescs
