Looks good, just keep in mind youâll lose the difference of your min/max pulsewidth minus the actual min/max of your throttle.
For example if you set max to 1.9, but your max throttle only goes to 1.8, you lose .1 of your throttle. Itâs best to set the trim just right.

Big shoutout to @Jinra for helping me out with the VESC and BLDC tool setting up the remote control.

Is this VESC any good? Thinking about getting it myself, Thanks
Yes, it works as good as any other vesc. The only difference is they put the maytech name brand on it. My other board has a non maytech brand vesc, they both work fine. Check out @psychotiller, psycotiller.com, thats where I bought my maytech.
Not true - donât say that. Maytech VESCs come without a bootloader which is a significant difference!
they also work only with the original BOM, not the upgraded one
Iâve been using a Maytech VESC on a single drive for 100 km without any issues. So far so good.
Is it not possible to flash a bootloader, if needed?
They often work fine, but you should know, there are better Vescs available. It´s like you get what you pay for. Without a bootloader, you have to get a St-Link V2 and upload the bootloader and after that the firmware yourself.
sure but going online and buying an ST-Link, reading up on how the upload works plus performing the upload just to save like 10 bucks? Plus the chances of inferior quality?
@TarzanHBK Ah I had no idea extra HW was needed. I often follow the approach âif it ainât broke, donât fix itâ so canât imagine needing to upgrade the firmware. BLDC mode is working well at the moment.
@Maxid On the quality front, Maytech have years of experience manufacturing ESCs for the RC hobby market. So if anything, I would expect their quality to be higher than the small âVESC-onlyâ suppliers. This is pure speculation though.
Experience on this forum has shown that these chinese VESCs are inferior to the âestablishedâ manufacturers. Also just because you have the experience to make a good product does not mean you actually do when you use cheap parts of lesser quality to put it together.
I donât want to argue but the heart of your vehicle is in my eyes not the place to cheap out on. Get worse wheels that donât cushion vibrations as good or worse trucks that might make handling a little harder - but the VESC controls the entire thing!
Maytech is fine as long as you donât want to use the latest firmware and cutting edge features like FOC
Can somebody breifly explain the bootloader thing about the maytech Vesc? I got one cant i run inte without doing a bootloader?
bootloader is necessary if ou want to update your firmware with for example @Ackmaniacâs version. If you are fine with the version it came with there is no need for you to update.

Some infos on how to handle that:
I plug mine straight into my computer with no stlink and. It works fine with no firmware update.
