Being a new builder, research is the key and doing a lot of it. Living in New Zealand and therefore the other side of the world it is often easier to go direct to China. Having said that, congrats on your channel. I often find the USA is way ahead of everyone else but I find a lot of youtube channels dribble on incessantly about themselves, whereas you guy rock with no-nonsense factual to the point builds without the drawn out commentary. Very well done and encourage you to keep up the good work.
I've the 4.20 plus and it work perfectly for a dual 5065 150kv motors they are rated 34 amp max each, the 4.20 plus is rated @ 50 amp continuous x motor. So more than enough, very happy with this vesc smooth acceleration and strong brakes plus much less noise from the motors, more efficient and more speed too. Enjoy Flipsky best value vesc right now!
Lol damn. I just bought the regular 6.6. Bad ass video. Definitely makes building a board easier than other you tubers. Keep it up.
Flipsky FSESC 6.6 failed around 3 months. Seemed great until the "capacitors" swoll and stopped giving constant current. Try legit VESC 6 mkiii, I wish I grabbed that BEFORE 4 days of troubleshooting my FSESC...word from the wise.
Do you know how to bridge power switch on flipsky 6.7 plus?
I'm having a problem with mine. After updating to latest firmware ( I shouldn't have). When I turn the board off and back on the VESC looses all it's settings. Like I have to run the VESC tool set up again but then after shutting down it looses everything every time. Have you guys ever seen that?
Hey the jump cable for the power switch can you give some more detail on how you did it?
To jumper the pins on the switch, you can grab a jumper off any dead motherboard or electronic device. It looks like you're jumpering adjacent pins, so a 2 pin jumper is what you want to grab. Clear_cmos is usually a 2 pin jumper.
It's just a jumper block withoiut having the dangly wire.
what i did was use the switch connector cut it with extra wires left and short the red and white wires.
I was gonna get one, but I settled on maker X esc.
For the demon 2.0 you should try the maytech v2 fully waterproof or do a video on it definitely a very cool remote
For the demon 2.0 you should throw 2, 12s4p batts. And add on if these screen modules! flipsky.net/collections/accessories/products/tft-screen-ver2-module-based-on-vesc
you can get a after market car remote to turn on and off instead of having the on/off button on your skate board this way no1 can turn it on but you and if you pass 20A on your battery the 4mm bullet connectors can cause a meltdown so add a shink tube over the connection but dont heat it up ,because it will give you extra safety and a hint that it gets real hot there , i use over 30A and have to use 6mm to handle the current , 808 gone
I'm looking for someone knowledgeable in esk8 to help me out I'm getting discouraged. I have a dual vesc that was working for one ride got back shut it off and back on and the power switch wouldn't light up.
So I have a unique question. I’m a little person and use a powered wheelchair for long distances. I only weigh 55lbs. I have a car, I don’t drive a van or suv. I don’t want to have to use a 200 lb wheelchair and 300 lb lift on a larger vehicle. I want to build myself a small lightweight wheelchair that I can easily set in my floorboard. I have a set of BLDC hoverboard motors. My original plan was to use a modded hoverboard motherboard with an arduino to drive the motors using a joystick as input. I love the features I see in the flip sky like regenerative braking. But all the setups I see are skateboards. Is it possible, or easy to use the 6.6+ to drive 2 BLDCs side by side in differential steering mode?
Hi, so that is a very interesting question. I personally have no experience with that so I have no idea how that would work. I know for sure that you could use two different vesc's, each with a different input like a throttle, but I'm not sure about the differential steering mode. There may be something on the esk8 forums, or another source would be directly asking Ben Vedder or anyone that works on VESC's a lot!
@@DIYesk8Builders thank you!
Great video!
Which would you recommend, this or the Unity?
Definitely this now. Personally love both and its a close call but this is just newer with more support than a unity
DIY esk8 Builders that’s a pretty good point. I wasn’t thinking customer support haha well. I have a unity coming from both you and from the factory store, I’ll be sure to switch after using the Unities though lol. I’m impressed with how small they were able to get this thing!
Do you have a link for the jumper cable that you used so I can purchase one?
Is this esc good enough for 12s3p 30Q 388.8Wh 43.2V battery pack ??
My 6.6 doesn’t recognize my vx2 remote on the VESC tool app settings. What am I doing wrong?
same to me - i dont know what to do
@@marcelscaletta7468 I emailed back and forth with Flipsky and they’re not helping, they had me send them videos of the problem and still go to endless emails. Don’t buy Flipsky products; they are crap.
What deck and enclosure are you using on that board in this video?
Our bamboo drop through and fishbone enclosure
DIY esk8 Builders Ah, yes. Is that a flexible setup? I see the deck is out of stock...
I noticed you mentioned it was for a 12s3p battery will the vesc still work with a 12s4p??
Running dual 6374 motors
Yes!
I had the flipsky dual 6.6 and when I plugged it in and it said serial Port error. Do you think I did something wrong or was it a problem with ESC. Is there a certain firmware I should have loaded on vesc tool?
Did you have the power switch connected and the battery? Did you plug it into USB2?
Flipsky has a video on how to connect to the VESC Tool. I followed the video and got my VESC programmed.
can a bluetooth module and the receiver for the vx2 remote be plug in at the same time ?
Yes
I am looking into buying this but I have read some reviews that say it is not that good is this true? and also have you guys had any problems with the power switch?
The old version definitely did have some issue but with the current ones I have found them to be fantastic. I absolutely love it. No issues with the power switch so far.
Do I have to program it two times each time cause of the 2 USB ports on it
Nope, only once
So I’m planning to use this Vesc for a direct drive motor what motor would I select in the beginning of the programming
Not sure about that one. I would ask the manufacture depending on which DD you have
DIY esk8 Builders I was also wondering where I can find the download for the Vesc program for Mac cause I can’t find it on their website
All esc's tend to work initially --- only long term reviews really tell you about the quality of esc's. Recently I had a makerx that blew within 2 days :-(
Yeah not necessarily. We had a batch of 6.6's that failed from the start.
Is this esc still running for you guys now? I was thinking of getting either this or the Stormcore. What do you think?
It is still running, but the power switch broke so now we have an external switch
I would probs cut the button wires close to the jst and solder them together.
That works too
For the vx2 remote did u have to do a input set up with it or does it work right off the bat
It works fine right off the bat. No set up really needed. Just program it to ppm and select all of the defaults and it will work!
DIY esk8 Builders what do u mean by programming to ppm cause doesn’t it use a uart port
If you just leave the VESC set to PPM it will work anyways.
Do you use BLDC or FOC. would you ever recommend FOC?
FOC all the way
Hi , What is the probability that a Dual VESC would fail & be damaged for replacement. ? . Nice Video :)
I haven't had any of the dual 6.6 plus versions fail or et damaged so far. The regular dual 6 version I have had a few issues, all of which were replaced.
@@DIYesk8Builders Thank you so much 🙂
Who's battery enclosure are you using?
WC standard fishbone that is also available on our store
When you are surprised your Flipsky didn't cut out... I agree, time to celebrate :D THey have always been crap and hard to believe they would all of a sudden change their approach. Never Flipsky. Your positive review was based on size (says nothing), power and not cutting out... What were the temps after what time with what power? Did you put at least a 1000 km on them? That's not a review, that's an amateurs opinion on something he doesn't really understand. No offense. None of the reviewers do...
We have clearly just had very different experiences with these VESC's. I've used unity's, FOC box singles, TB VESC, Boundmotor ESC, Regular 6.6, 6.6 mini, and from all that experience my favorite has been this one. Now you may not agree, but for me and what I use my board for, I've loved this VESC. Maybe after 1000km I'll be saying something different but for now and the past few months everything is just how I like it.
i feel better about being able to tackle my next build.
@Dev Guy thanks. I'll keep looking. Any soggestions? Focbox?
@Dev Guy i saw that interview. And there is a site selling them. Not sure what to do now. I'm a keep looking.
@Elijah Miller Yeah I would definitely recommend the Unity. We have one on one of our personal boards and it works amazing and has not caused us any issues. Although there is a lot of controversy around the Unity it is still a great product. If you want you can buy it from us or from the original place, either one works but we have a warranty on it and we can always help you if you have any questions about it or anything even if you buy it from somewhere else.
@@DIYesk8Builders for a link to your store? Im on esk8news as deadpirate
@@DIYesk8Builders Kevin just hit me up with a sweet deal on a unity. This build is gonna be sweet.
I think these and the 6.6 min's and these have the most issues or all FS esc's turn up the amperage and see where it falters forum.esk8.news/t/flipsky-6-6-plus-issue/25929
Yeah so we have also heard that they had issues and we steered clear of them until just this month. Flipsky claims to resolved some of the issues. I've been riding with dual 6374 on a 12s3p 40T and it shocked me how good it has been. May be that I haven't ridden long enough but so far I have been amazed. Been just as good as my old FOC Box singles
@@DIYesk8Builders they should feel better than focbox's, the V6 hardware should be smoother and punchier at the same settings. But you might experience cutouts, and current faults, many people ran into abs fault issues.
@@arei127 them faults are going to get some people hurt. I was lucky to be wearing full gear. 35mph+ to a cut out is not fun.
Flipsky is meh, I would wait for Stormcore which is being released next month or Torqueboards new Torque6 ESC which should be releasing any day now.
Definitely excited for these to come out too!
once in 2019 I bought this shit and was happy for only 2 months. Then it started to glitch with wizard setup, I got fault_code_abs_over_current, with motor stuttering. I made decisions to repeat motor setup, the capacitor burned on my eyes. I thought, ok, flipsky has support, wrote to them a few letters and messages, when they knew what happened, just stopped to answer. such is support. I think hardware on fsescs isn't good. Be careful and remember miser pays twice.
typical flipsky... this review made by a guy that has no clue what he is talking about...
HI, do you use BAttery BMS for this build?
BMS is built into the pack
@@DIYesk8Builders you mean into the ESC?
@@keeweemo7609 No. Into the battery pack.
Do not buy, the old one is good though
