To add to Alex's previous posts, whilst I know people have had problems with even upgraded VESCs I feel it is worth pointing out that we haven't had a single Mangle VESC failure in almost a year running the scorpion HK 5020 450kv motors, of which we use 8 at a time. 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.
As for pricing on the 300A vesc, its likely to be £150 bom +£12 board cost. So probably selling for £300. That will probably change though. Once i finish the layout and get some made i will be sending some out for beta testing at parts cost.
