Good thing I am making some new ones then :D since VESC6 is way too expensive.Quote:

Their peak is 120 amps at 5320 watts, which we have made full use of. Yes Smash is only 60kg but we have driven with 2 HK 5020s moving well in excess of 110kg.
Eaun ; What sort of price are you trying to bring your brushless ESCs in at?
I would also add that the three we broke, 1 we ran on a lab supply and regen broke it by overvoltage, 2 was from too high erpm 130000, and 3 was when mucking around with hall sensors. So none actually failed while in use, but the ability to damage them accidentally is really easy.Quote:
