As some of you already know, My MakerX DV4 is not behaving very well, and it looks like is going to be a pain to fix In the meanwhile, I need an ESC Vesc I can rely on, something based on the newer design possibly. Eventually when the makerx come to it’s sense I will use it for a new longboard project
I am based in London Uk, don’t have a fixed budget, but I’d like to stay around the 150£ mark. The veac is going on a MTB.
Well not exactly have to buy twice, the maker x is not completely fucked, it works perfectly under 40a per motor, and so far @YUTW123 is trying to help me resolve it.
With this I am not saying that the Trampa ones are not worth the cost.
I agree that the price of the trampa vesc is on the higher end, but for what they provide its seldom a bad buy. Occasionally you can get a second hand one for a bit cheaper too. I bought a mkv for 200 eur just the other week! If I wasn’t already convinced by all my other vescs regarding the reliability tho. I’d be in the very same boat as you.
I haven’t run a DV4 very hard at all yet but that does sound reasonable. My GoFoc Retro, which had a smaller heatsink could only take about that much as well
40 is the limit on one side, the other one is doing other vesc 60 without issues, this is what makes me think the side that only handle 40 is not working as intended.
Before raising the motor amps (was running 35/40 before) i contacted makerx, they said up to 100 is fine!!
The way I see these things, I’d try push it a bit harder than you want, see if it handles it, then tune it down to the desired parameters, and my vesc failed this test
What battery are you planning on using tho? I have 12s
