Did I hear heatsink
Barmen! 1 universal single-ESC heat-sink for my friend over here!
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
You could always just saw in half your current model
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.
What battery do you have? What motor do you have (mount as well for curiosity)? What settings are you running?

Guess I should of tagged OP lol. But thank you Brian lol.
LoL I couldn’t figure out who you were asking. Whoops
Smoke you another homie lol
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
You can run the VX1 in PPM mode and then you don’t have to worry about it.
Also, was surprised to see @b264 running his focbox at only 30A battery current. I have the focbox in my friend’s board set to 50A, and brother’s single drive board is using a trampa vesc at 80A
I prefer when you break the things and I just keep skating
That is true, my focbox did die from running it at 60A… in my defense it had its temperature sensors broken
