You are correct! If you have a hot air station you can pull them off fairly easily I also stock right angle jst connectors to port them out the sides. keeps the whole assembly about as thick as the fets.
NEW VESC BATCH HAS ARRIVED!..
Original estimated shipping date of 17th FEB is now invalid, everyone gets VESC much sooner, shipping starts tomorrow!
Itâs great to be ahead of schedule! We have plenty of stock for sale & immediate shipping! But It wonât last!
Some notes about this batch.
- Comes with 5.5mm Connectors, Great for R-SPEC motors.
- Wires have Silicone Insulation Rated for 200c
- Firmware Pre-Loaded
- R-SPEC motor parameters pre-configured.
- Motor spin testing on all VESC before shipping.

I wanted to announce how we are handling the latest hardware update to version 4.12. Vedder recently added another capacitor above C18 to address a fault occurring in FOC mode, in effect doubling the capacitance at C18
Every VESC leaving our shop now comes with a C18 modification on v4.11 hardware. We opted to use a higher rated capacitor instead of stacking two 2.2uf caps. I was worried the stacked caps could end up tearing the pads on the pcb due to the added leverage and the small footprint. We also have version 4.12 PCBâs in fab so those will be available soon but are essentially the same as 4.11 with a higher rated cap at C18.

Dual heat sinked VESCâs mounted on a single aluminum base with vertical usb ports for ease of access. It is the most compact dual VESC available measuring under 80mm wide.
I also made some custom mounting plates for a Losi 6IX. Lots of possibilities when it comes to the VESC.

Hello Dexter
Nice to see your VESC coming along 
Do you have the VESC parameters for your sensored Motor 6355 230KV 2650W ?
FINAL PRODUCTION SAMPLE FROM NEW USA SUPPLIER

Here are my final thoughts about production.
No 5.5mm bullet connectors. Prob just some motors wires⌠Only install header plugs for CAN & Sensor Ports. Caps & Power wires with xt60 will be installed. Canât find a compatible vertical USB receptacle, so itâs just the standard USB receptacle from BOM (unless someone can tell me the part #)
Iâd put the bullets just for the plug-and-play lovers⌠having the Space Cell, VESC, and R-SPEC combo require no soldering would be a huge plus.
Also if the 2.4ghz remote came with a servo cable to attach it to the VESC, people wouldnât need anything extra at all.
No Soldering would be great, but the bullets mounted direct to PCB seem to be an issue for some people. Itâs not really design for that so one knock & it can damage the PCB. In the long run the VESC needs to be completely modified so that it has better motor connections.
I suppose I could put the 5.5mm connectors on 1inch of wire, then it will eliminate the stress problems.
Yeah the 2.4ghz remote was meant to have the servo cable⌠never came with it⌠Nothing in this world is easy!

Servo cable to control the bomb bay doors on your down hill bomber lol
Hello, i ordered a vesc for the 31st of March batch. i still have no information about shpping. Thank you
I am a electronic engineer from South Africa keen to get my hands on a vesc for some experimentation. Think torture testing with some oscilloscopes, smoke, ect⌠Instead of buying a ready made vesc I will be buying bulk components and boards for a run of 10 to bring the cost down. I would like to sell around 8 of them (working of course) to make up the cost. I estimate around 150$ each. Would there be interrest or should I stick to a run of 2 for myself only?
hey harpie, welcome to the fourm, unfortunately, there is a new rule that you have to be level 2 before you can talk about arranging group buys or selling itemsâŚ
So please hang around for a some more time & reply to posts & integrate into the community, you will reach level 2 soon.

I have been wanting to share this project for a long time. They unveiled the ROV and finished qualifying last week. If you look close you can see the motor controller placement in the rendering, they might look familiar.

Does a turnigy aerodrive sk3 430kv motor brushless outrunner motor work on the mono drive kit and for the board? Please help
No, the kv is way too high. You want to get the largest motor possible like an sk3 192kv 6374.
