Looking for a single esc for a build I’m making. I need something that will hold up to a good amount of abuse. I am heavy and I ride hard, and I’ve burnt a solid 4 escs trying to find something that won’t die on me, so this time I’m trying to put my money a little harder on the table and get something reliable.
I’m thinking around 100? but if you’ve got a good deal on something above that, it might work as well.
If you have the space and you run a ppm remote this could be something for you

I think this might be your problem bro. Not to fat shame, but you might just need more hardware under you for a bit better reliability.

That’s not even enough for a used Trampa Vesc 6 
You might be lucky to find a Focbox for that price, but that’s vesc4 hardware, if you want reliability I recommend sticking with vesc6. Get a TorqueEsc (should be out soon) and mount a heat-sink to it, I think that’s your cheapest single-drive option for reliability.
Andy’s suggestion is decent too.

I wish I had a single version or some way to do single. I am building two single drive boards rn that would benefit from a lil heatsink. I can always make myself a custom one, but would be nice to stock a single, I bet @b264 would be happy

I’ll for sure look at those vescs. I was looking at a guy selling a FOCBOX 1.6 for 100$, do you think that would work well? Also where can i get one of those heatsinks
I don’t see any issue putting a single ESC on a dual heatsink. More cooling! Plus you can put the BMS on the other side.

Yes, my daily driver is a single FOCBOX 1.6 with external heatsink and a TB6380 motor and I am fat (220lbs / 98kg) and I abuse the crap out of it, daily, for years.
The external heatsink is important, though. It will work otherwise but it will thermal throttle without that.

I’ll let this go for $160 shipped within the US, can add connectors of your choice, or $150 as-is
I’m running that 10s battery i posted about a long time ago. Forgot how many packs, metroboard removed the info from their web page 
Has a 6374 turnigy, and I’m planning on pairing with a new boardnamics gear drive
I use a VX1 remote, so those maytechs might not work well for me
According to a statement of one person they should run just fine with the lates FW and uart receiver/remote combo. Never verified that by my own, so I better don’t call it a fact.
Got a focbox to sell if you want
