Who will be the new king when it comes to esc's?

@kadeanderson Don’t forget these weren’t supposed to be in any average Joe’s hands till next month. We were annoying and wanted hype. They unlocked a bit of stock to calm us down. But this means there was a whole month of testing left for our testers to find the bugs and hook fixes to em.

I guess that is true @Flasher but according to them it was ready so…

If vescs where easy to build every one would be doing it.

The problem is that almost everyone is doing it and most are failing miserably.

So what are the best tested vescs

Available right now?
Only the Trampa VESC and depending on who you ask the Unity.

By the feedbacks Trampa Vesc for sure. Vedder is behind them and apparently him alone can do magic :grin:
Personally I am using 2 unites and so far they treat me well but for sure don’t have the 160A set up to push them close to the thermal throttle. That makes a huge difference.

Right now the best tested “vesc” are Axiom. These ones don’t fail. However reason why nobody here uses them : huge size and price.

Second the FOCers from @shaman are honest legit designed HW side. Not widely available yet but affordable and from a guy who knows his shit.

In between, A200S VESC. Still big and pricy.

After these guys, Trampa VESCs and the old good Escapes, then some versions of FOCBOX apparently as long as CANBUS nor 13s was not involved.

New fighter in the game : Zesc non DRV based.
Lost fighter with low reported QC but apparently works correct for who got them : NeoBoxes.

After that : Flipsky. My 2 cents ofc.

Most DRV based VESC are usually run way too close to their limits too.

And there can be many other sources of issues related to the ever experimental evolving software. Of course all the rest of the board can fuck up before the ESC even has a chance to fail.

@MoeStooge sorry for your pal, wish him fast recovery.

Where would MakerX fit in your list? Personally I’d buy them over most of the options in here purely based on price

They’re better than flipsky, I haven’t had any issues with mine yet

@ShutterShock
If you tried something and it worked, what the reason to go towards another option that might not meet your expectations? Genuine question, I’ve only owned 3 different ESC’s (hobbywing, flipsky, Stormcore) and all worked mostly perfect so I never went esc shopping…till stormcore 60d was in front of me😂
