wow thats a serious rc car. 110A? HUH? 
This is why I generally trust the VESC: Vedder always seems to push his designs to their absolute limits. Canāt wait for VESC 6 
I am so eager to build a bunch of these

Does anyone know what the proposed constant and peak output will be?
He runs 70A continuously in his VESC 6.0 demo video. Whereas he ran the same test with 4.12, and it could only handle 35A continuously without adding passive/active cooling

Whoo! MORE AMPS!
Not that I enjoy increasing the entropy of the universe by wasting energy as heat, but 70 Amps sounds great!
Who will be selling these and does anyone know approximately what the price will be? @chaka @onloop @torqueboards @JTAG Also any chance of beta testing? I would love to test these.
Cost per VESC will be a smidge bit higher I suspect, but not much compared to 4.12 or VESC-X.
Check out Vedderās forum for when he opens beta. This is going to be very different from the 4.12 in some ways so the firmware will need more testing than in previous VESC revisions.
I suspect itāll be out on the market for full time use around March. Maybe earlier.
Also, Iām so giddy! 150k ERPM is gonna be mindblowing.

Im way to excited! Iām also starting to get sick of riding around mono. Second it comes out im buying a couple! Also, can someone explain the performance increase from the new vesc? Speed increase, torque, max amp output, etcā¦
@Chris604 - Higher ERPM limit, more amps, more stable (hopefully) FOC.
FOC and ERPMās were known DRV chip killers. @Chaka found >60k ERPM was pretty much a guaranteed dead DRV chip. This is why most folks kept to <200kv motors on 10s to keep ERPM down. FOC is another whole thread - youāll have to know if you need it, BLDC works really really well, but FOC is the next step!!
Speed and Torque - all in your gearing and volts - regardless of ESC.

Any update on the release of the VESC 6.0?
And does anyone think that dual 190kv motors with a 12s (li ion) battery is worth doing at the moment (limiting the erpm to 60k in bldc, due to the current vescās limitations which wouldnāt be the case for the new one which I would switch to upon its release) over a 10s for the extra speed/range/torque or anything?
The sweet spot for a 190kv is 10s with vesc. 12s is used for lower kv motors like hubs or 149kv and works great.
If you have a good vesc, you shouldnĀ“t be having problems using 12s + 190kv when you limit your erpm to 60k.
190kv @ 12s works but it can get ugly if you donāt fully understand the effect coasting has on erpm,
How come the DRV isnt being replaced with something more robust so erpm limits are non existent?
thats what is happening with the vesc 6. There are no similar and better drivers available than the DRV.
The next version will have the drv8301. The erpm limit of 60k is largely caused by pcb layout. We will do some testing in the next few weeks to see how far we can push the new hardware before getting errors caused by high erpm, We have optimized the pcb to keep the drv chip cooler since it does get hot on the original 4.12 pcb.

Why there is a TRADEMARK over the logoā¦ IS IT GOING TO BE OPEN SOURCE ???
Maybe just a way to avoid shitty vescs made with non-original BOM to be sold with such name. But I dont really knowā¦

Still kind of odd for a open source to get a trademarkā¦ Also who own the trademark Trampa or vedder ?
