Don’t sell it! I’m telling you right now the reliability problem is most likely the ESC. I’ll give you a reliable esc if you want to get it working properly, all you need is a fan to keep it nice and cool.
Don’t get out of esk8… it’s too much fun once you get it up and running the right way
I don’t know. I only see the VESC 6 or FOCBOX as relieable options. And those are really out of my price range. It’s a lot of fun though. And selling it might fail anyway as shipping is even more than I expected.
If you have a relieable ESC below that price I might take a look at it.
@Blitz Don’t be dissapointed. There hasn’t been any interest for the battery and the ESC. The last thing I want to look at every day is a partially disassembled board. I would only sell this if I could get a relatively good deal out of it.
I have a miamiboards 8s ESC that you can have for free if you want it. It doesn’t need any cooling, it’s relatively efficient and has never had any problems. OR
If you’re planning to upgrade at any point, I’ll give you my 12s Torqueboards ESC. Reliable, but overheats if you don’t put a fan on it (the heat sink isn’t enough to keep it cool, it’s not the most efficient thing in the world)
@anorak234 dude you are one of the kindest people on this forum, I consistently see threads of you offering to give away your items to people who are having problems with their boards. You’re a legend!
One last thing. I don’t want to seem picky getting free stuff, I just want to be sure that if you donate that ESC to me, it will be used and loved. So my only question is, how good is the braking on that ESC? I just don’t want it to be wasted. And as @pat.speed said, this community and the OP’s on this forum are amazing.
The breaking on the 8s ESC is smooth, but not very strong.
The breaking on the 12s ESC is turned off atm because I’m bad at using the programming card XD.
Both ESCs can be programmed, I’ll send the right cables and units. The 12s one has its own unit and the 8s there’s a program for laptops to change settings
Dude, you are awesome! I don’t know how will I thank you. I think I will go with the 8S one as overheating is the last think I want to hear about at the moment. I’ll send you a PM.
