As usual, I’m trying to find the cheapest, powerful and reliable ESC
The reason I don’t like VESC is very expensive for a +5000W single drive and easy to break due to novice mistakes and lack of protection, so I can’t accept the price of VESC6 until I understand why other controllers suck.
I found DJI ESC on Taobao for only $63 and specs are really impressive. As I understood the release was in 2017, but I didn’t find any reviews or something. It definitely confuses me, but still…
We both know it’s not the addition of smoother throttle and usable breaks that makes the vesc more expensive to manufacture and distribute, it’s the modularity and openness of the unit that drives the price up.
I’m sure that if @AlanZhou is correct, and the ESC requires the remote control, then either that controller is going to expensive as hell, or they’re going to find another way to get money out of you
I’ve always jokingly thought about a build where in my right hand I hold my remote, and in my left I hold a manual break, similar to ones for mountain boards… just for both rear wheels 🤷
Seems silly to me as I believe the electronics should be able to do both . But if you’re going to use an ESC that only accelerates, it’s not a bad idea
