First post, let me know if I’ve screwed something up.
I bought a vesc from torque boards a little over 3 weeks ago and she just let the magic smoke out of the drv. That is the second time that’s happened to me now, and I’m starting to get fed up. I’ve inspected the motor wires, and nothing is shorting or anything like that, and I’m running a max of 50 amps and bat max of 30 amps, with a 6374 168kv sk3 motor. Would I end up disappointed if I cheaped out and bought a set of the dual hub motors and hub motor esc from diyeboards? What about the belt kit? I am running a 10s4p li-ion battery.
I keep buying a cheap vesc that everyone else seems to be having problems with DVR , is what I just read buy a high quality one like focbox or get a vesc6 little on the exspensive but sure are stupid proof , B-Box
Its not a quality issue with the TB VESC’s. I have 7 running ATM, 3 of them for over a year, 1 for almost 2 years. THe issue I mostly see when people burn DRV’s on a VESC is full throttle/brake on the bench. ERPM is the killer.
Hmm interesting. This was me just starting out after class, I put it down and gave it a push and was easing into the throttle. The part that I don’t understand is why it worked perfectly well for 3 weeks and one day without warning it gives out. I’ve already decided that I’m done w/ the cheap stuff, I’ll put the money in for the quality.
I’ve been running the same VescX(Focbox) for about a year. I had them on my old 10s set up and now I have them on my 12s set up pushing them hard for 500miles with no problems.
