REEEE, it's not VESC, it's VESC BASED ESC!! I'm calling the police.
That's a really nice VESC. It's definitely a vesc. Vesc vesc vesc.
vesccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc
This one is 16s capable unlike ALL others ;-) which is why it is larger (100v caps and HUGE mosfets- open it up and see how Quality it is :D )
I do wonder how it lasts? please do the follow up :)
We are definitely going to be making a follow up video
Not to be a downer but I feel my experience should be heard. I’ve had two of these now and both crapped out during set up. I’m not an experienced builder but have had many review my build and confirm nothing I could have done that would have caused both to die. Spintend had various trouble shooting steps they had me try (that I already tried) and basically gave up and told me to send back for a refund. On one hand I can see their point but on the other I was frustrated because I really put my money and trust into this new product and they basically blamed me for the issue and sent me to buy elsewhere. Now I’ve got there lights I bought and a horn I purchase (3rd party) that aren’t going to work. I hope my experience was a one off cause the more players in the market will only benefit the hobby. But I wanted people to know in case there is an issue they need to address.
damn man hope you have better luck with the Xenith or somethin.
Thank you for the video. I am installing a Ubox on an electric scooter for my channel, it should be here next week! Any advice on the programming process?
Hi! I would just watch some VESC programming videos and ensure that you know your battery and motor limits and specifications
@@DIYesk8Builders Thanks! I watched a few and it doesn't seem to daunting! Appreciate your hard work!
Thank you! If you run into any issues just let me know :)
Please test it with higher voltage build, ideally 16S or 15S.
I would go for a stormcore for anything over a 12s. It gets hot fast. Maybe a fan or a heat sink would help
@@deadpiratetattoo2015 Thanks for the info. I did ended up going only with 12S due to covid price pump lowering what I can afford. But in the future I will definitely plan my build with some cooling.
i have been using mine for a couple of months. i think its better than the unity.
I'd like to hear why you think it's better.
@@Convolutedtubules besides the political crap, Ive bricked two unities. Even the new xenith has similar provlems. All of my client builds now get spintends. Much better design
@@deadpiratetattoo2015 That's valuable information, thank you. Anything else you can tell me about this vesc that I should know before investing?
@@Convolutedtubules not really. They are what I use on my client builds. I've had zero problems. No returns or complaints. I rock a stormcore 100d on my personal decks.
@@deadpiratetattoo2015 So your personal choice is stormcore or are they relatively equal?
Thanks for your great reviews on the VESCs!
I live in a very hilly area and I had some bad experiences with my old VESC riding down hills and the brake stopped working. Which VESC (UBox, Stormcore 60D, Foxbox Unity) do you think has the best and reliable brakes for going down steep hills? Thanks for your answer.
all three of those are very high quality VESC. If you have the money, I personally love the storm core. The other two are also fantastic
Thank you very much for your quick answer!
Greetings from Germany
Your “problem” is probably the speed controller attempting to regenerate power into a full battery. If you are starting from the top of the hill, try changing your battery to 80% instead of 100%.
Oh man, me too. There's nothing worse than brakes failing at the top of a long, long hill and speed builds up so fast, past the point of bailing whilst you still can.
Because this had happened way too many times for me, regardless of the controller used, I needed something reliable to guarantee safe braking.
I have a few mountain boards with tethered brake cables and decided to use on my board.
It opened many other useful uses.
First, the cable goes to the front 2 wheels.
I only ride boards with pneumatic off road tires, because, I ride off road too.
They're softer, and my boards look beefier.
The brakes operate on discs attached to the wheels, like bicycles.
Seemed to work, but not much help at top of mountain with steep decline.
So, I switched to drum brakes.
Yes, they make them.
Perfect. Stops as smoothly as you want, guaranteed.
Now I realize you don't ride off road, but how often have you wanted to or needed to. Only a matter of time till you do. Besides, you can still ride on road, and ignore any holes or uneven roads.
The other useful part of having a dumb tethered cable to the front of your board is, you never have to pick your board up to get over/around/passed something.
It's on a leash.
Just drag it, or steer it using the cable.
Something I never expected would be so useful.
Since it's a bike cable, it's thin and strong, and not really noticable when riding. It does however use your other hand, so can't hold stuff.
Personally, I can only go as fast as I can stop.
And that's about 36mph.
Nice & Thanks :)
its for electric scooter also? I have two motors 2600 watt loaded at 60 volt
Yes it would work for those too!
Hi can you tell me what hardware vertion you need to use in vesc tool when updating the firmware?
@DIY esk8 Builders hi bro hope your well.
I’ve just got this dual esc, can you do a video of how to set it up please like firmware side of things. I’m sure it will be greatly appreciated by your community as well. And very much appreciated by me. I’m running a 13s 9p 60amp bms. With MT0674-HA motors. Thanks dude 🤛🏼😎
Hey Man love your reviews but did you have your settings I don’t seem to find mine very responsive especially the brake cant seem to get it to go in reverse and doesn’t seem to come to a compete stop. Toque is lacking for me going uphill.
Cheers
Myles
Hi Myles,
What are your settings?
@@DIYesk8Builders hey I actually followed your settings for your focbox unity/tenka with the exception of the max motor current to 75a and the max brake current to -75a. I did the wizard for the setup input same as you did yours but I am using their u1 remote they said I didn’t need the receiver that came with the remote since there is a built in one I selected to go brake and then reverse but does not happen when I do so. I had installed a horn too so wanted to keep the u1 remote but was also trying to pair the vx2 remote but no luck not sure if i need to use the vx2 receiver. Thanks for the help.
Myles
@@DIYesk8Builders I forgot to mention I am running a 12s8p lg m50lt 21700 cell batt with 6374 motors at 190kv
Hai bro, i'm ezy from Indonesia
I have a question for you, what a differences vesc for brushless unhub motor with vesc for hub motor? Thankyou
Thanks for the vid. Which model could I use to drive a 12KW brushless DC motor? I have a motenergy ME-1306, 12KW. Thanks!
I am not familiar with that motor so I have absolutely no idea what ESC would work with it
Will you cover the BKB Xenith?
Hopefully soon
In your opinion, which do you think is better than the other: Stormcore or Unity?
I would take storm core at the top, but this is tied for second w/ unity
I bought this one after watching the vid and I love it. So, I bought the V2 for my next build and after I set it up on VESC tool thought it was ready until I stand on it. It sputters and starts high pitch squealIing and doesn't move. What am I doing wrong? My esc is a Spintend ubox v2 75v 100a x2. motors are Flipsky 6384/190kv
Hi, I am not sure what the issue is. I would ensure that you have the correct firmware installed. The V2 is a little more complex and tricky than the V1 to set up
Hi, entered the link for purchase, its not 250$ its costs 299$, could you send a link with he discount?
The increased the price since we made the video unfortunately
At about VESC's you've tried and heard about which one do you think is the most reliable ?
Probably the storm core or the unity, they're both great
@@DIYesk8Builders thanks!
i'm looking for really tough one. Is this tough enough to be okay to forget and just enjoy riding?
This is a great option! It is fantastic
I'm having a problem with mine, I’ve got one motor not getting any power, it spins fine but I can stop it with my hand. Its not the motor as if I swap side its the same.
It was working perfectly then I unplugged the phase wire to fit into a new enclosure. It happen a couple of weeks ago and I fix by swapping the phase wires around but not this time.
I can’t see anything different in the vesc settings but I’m pretty new to vesc tool.
Can anyone help?
Did you re-do the motor detection after swiping the phase wires?
The big point you didn't mention is it doesn't use vesc firmware.
lol 🤣
But it does, you can just use the vesc tool as usual
@@basnagel2574 works vesc tool but fw has to be downloaded from splitend. Uses modified 5.1 firmware don't try generic vesc firmware some features will break.
@@movation i've got mine now for a few months and everything works great, just the 200/75 vesc firmware from the vesctool
Can you operate the horn or lights from other remotes? Eg. VX1 or VX2
I think its only from their remote. There is a specific button on their remote for these functions
Nope. Only from their remote.
Did you just say the v word? I'm calling Frank
Shhhhhh
Is there any vesc that works with 84v max?
yep
@@quinnfoster4671 which one?
yes 84v yes
Thoughts on this vs the 60d?
both are really really good
@@DIYesk8Builders thanks for the reply, just wondering because i ordered a vx2 for the stormcore but accidentally got the vesc6 instead of vesc4 receiver and now i'm just considering the spintend as it's a decent amount cheaper. Do you know how hard it would be to reconfigure the receiver pins from the vx2 to the stormcore?
I would recommend checking/asking the forums because we have never done it
My man, those are male XT90's (not female :))
I've hard the terminology of connectors vary, but to me I've always known these as females
Update ??
Still running strong in the 2.0 that it's in
Yay, a knockoff trampa vesc!
With more power
Are we talking battery amps or phase amps. Without that distinction, the figures you quote ate meaningless.
Thanks for the feedback :) We will add these details in future videos
On top of not mentioning the firmware, you didn't do research into what the additional ports accept.
Very, very poor review
