You can accelerate faster with more amperage.
So although Vesc has a continuous amp of 50A, it can handle 80A motors just fine? I’m kinda new to this. Also I need to set my battery amp limit to 80A as well if Im using this setup?
VESC can support 50a of continuous output from the battery, but motor current tends to be higher than what is being given by the battery and is measured in AC current. I’m not sure on the specifics but you should be fine with your setup.
If you want to be cautious about erpm, I’d limit it to 60k on bldc tool
Alright. Nice, I think I will proceed with this setup then. Thanks for the info!
One last question. How advisable is it to buy no-brand motors from China? I mean they probably distribute to hobby retail shops and the such, then resellers might rebrand them. Im not sure if they are distributors, but I wanna know if getting a motor from turnigy or hobby sites are more recommended than buying no-brand China motors? Might be a dumb question here, but I’m curious.
there are some people buying cheap motors and are really fine with them, but there are also a few with some problems. normally it´s not much of a difference with the price tag between a china motor with taxes and shipping, or just get a good, tested motor from one of the suppliers here on the forum.
Say, even if there’s problems with the motor, what’s the worst it could do to a VESC?
You can allways limit the erpm in the Vesc !
some people fried their vesc due to a short caused by bad motor wiring and shorting cables. Usually the DRV chip at the vesc is dead at this point and you need to get it changed.
limit erpm and considering getting a more suitable motor down the line.
means to say that my motor will be under utilized then?
it’s not going to be running efficiently, I’m not sure what you mean by underutilized. You may be lacking in torque due to thicker windings and less copper in the stator.
Is it true that the minimum for entry level eboards is 270kv to start off? Cause I’ve seen an instructables before using 270kv sk3 motors and I dont know if that’s the highest kv value acceptable on an eboard or that it’s just a resulting kv value suited for his setup.
probably because 270kv is a good value for 6s which is the max voltage a lot of hobby escs run at. I run 10s myself which 190kv-200kv motors are great for.
our outrunner run perfect in their most efficient erpm limit with the vesc. Our current vesc version is fine with 60.000erpm.
if you exceed that, your motor could start stuttering and the vesc can´t keep up how fast it is spinning. if you stay way under 60.000erpm you´re not using the full potential and your motor eats more current, so that you´ll lose some range.
so try to pick a good combo according to chakas article 
My vesc runs 4.18. Are there any differences regarding change in ERPM true limit? Just got it like 2 weeks ago.
I think you mean hw 4.12, sw 2.18. No change in limit, still roughly 60k
I got a little different question…
I’ve got a VESC with 12s setup, current limit 50amp, everything else, default. This VESC is connected to a EMAX GT5345/08 190KV motor, then it has a gear-ration of 15/40 and 97mm wheels. Top-speed is really nice, 40+ km/h but going uphill it has no force with me (90kg, 200lbs). But my friend (60kg/ 130lbs) can go uphill with no problems. Before I had the VESC I had a 120amp ESC and with this ESC I had no problems going uphill (6s setup).
What can I do? I don’t really want a dual-motor setup. I will change gear ration to 10/40, but I guess this won’t be enough. Do motors with same watt have different power in real-world? Does anyone with 200lbs+ have experience.
this thing is rated 85A constant, so adjust your batt max limit to 85A - that will help 
also have you done your motor detection?
