Hi all 
I made this thread so we have a place where people can check out what VESC settings other SYL-08 riders have. It might help others figure out what settings to plug in to the VESC tool.
Feel free to post below:

I just ran all default configs when I replaced the ESC in my SYL-08, and it ran great. Flipsky 4.20 dual.

Battery max 40 (Overall, 20 per side)
Battery regen max -7 to -10 per side
Run detection for the motors, but they should be about 45 amps depending on which gen SYL you have

This is with the stock battery?
And which VESC do you have?
The battery depends on what year and which model you happened to get, most of them are 10S4P Chinese 25R with a 40A limited BMS so the max output is 40A, you can check by opening it up, usually the amperage is on the label. Maybe take off 10-20% to be safe.
I dont even have my syl08 anymore, too many issues. You’ll probably be replacing more components soon. I am a parts vendor though so I basically have every VESC

Its the standard one, it’ll be 40A BMS restricted with the chinese fake 25R cells in it.
Why do you call these ‘fake cells’?
They attempt to mimic genuine samsung 25R, often having copy wraps with the text “IMR18650-25R” or something, but they’re not, they’re chinese made cells. They’re not terrible but they are not as powerful as actual 25R cells and usually are a little under capacity. you probably have 8 and not 10.4ah for example in that pack.

Thanks for all the info man! Is there any way I can find out if I have 8ah or 10.4ah?
Not really, it’s labelled as 10.4ah there but the actual capacity is probably lower on the Chinese cells. Not really an easy way to measure how much by, 8 is a guess
