Seems one is copying the other. Is this fine legally?

Different port locations, different specs… I don’t think they’re using the same board.

Yeah the Spintend looks to be unique, not sure which was designed first, but Flipsky had it available several months before Spintend.

#6

the physical similarity is just due to design advantage/constraints or something? Look to be almost clones from the outside.

#7

most likely copied and altered the design slightly. there own products are hugely none fire proof.
worth saying they did already have a 75100 design

It’s one of the first IMS VESCs with a stacked pcb in a small form factor. Excellent cooling so yeah Spintend probably used the idea but did their own layout
