Against the advice of nearly everyone on this site I did a boneheaded move and bought a Flipsky 6.6 FSESC (not to be confused with the Flipsky 6.6 FSESC Plus) anyways.
I have to live with the repercussions of bad buy so please don’t beat this dead horse. In short, my goal was to build a 4WD board and the Flipsky website for the 6.6 FSESC mentions nothing about being unable to support 4WD (but go the the 6.6 ‘plus’ page and it mentions 4WD support), needless to say I spend $550 on FSESC that are useless to me now for my project but here I am trying to salvage something form it which leads me to my question:
I have used the VESC tool (even bought the bronze edition) to program and setup the ESC to connect and ride (setup went smoothly) but when I connect and try to ride the board it won’t go. It just struggles to do anything but when there is no weight on it, it bolts like a cheetah- WTF?
I am either the dumbest person ever or the Flipsy FSESC is shit
And minus the fact that the 6.6 does not support 4WD and the website focusing on the product fails to mention this - that’s a pretty big fuck-up. I’m out $550 because of it.
The Flipsky 6.6 FSESC definitely supports 4 wheel drive.
There are many ways to do this. I recommend having a separate remote receiver for each ESC/motor but there are other ways like Split “PPM” (PWM) and CANBUS.
