I also came from a Wowgo2s setup (using Paris truck up front and baseplate in the rear). Vibration at low speeds is present but more likely due to tread pattern, and I sincerely doubt that’s what’s causing your particular vibration issues! Maybe switch out your front truck to isolate if it’s coming from front or rear for now. Check the tightness of your kingpins and make sure the wheels aren’t torqued on too tight or loose (common with some of the value boards).
I have also experienced the torque loss compared to the Wowgo hubs but didn’t check to see if it was overheating. It just doesn’t “feel” as quick.
In my testing, Wowgo 2S ESC didn’t support 12s setup. Only 10s worked. The only budget board ESC that supported 12s was the early Meepo ESC from what I tried. I don’t know if the latest Meepo ESC supports 12s. Haven’t tried that.
I’d be surprised if vesc didnt make these perform better. We had the same issue with Pulseboards Echo, when you run a generic esc like ownboard and it is not configured well, the torque is just average and when you run VESC you immediately see a bump In torque and overall performance, even better battery life.
Would a swap to VESC while using the same original battery still come with improvements?
Would i still be able to use the existing remote and get all the same functionality out of it?
Sorrrryy I know nothing about about programming/configuring vescs and such.
Some but I’d swap to Sanyo 20700 , Samsung 25r or 30q cells for max upgrades.
As long as you can disconnect the remote receiver from the esc you can re-use it with vesc
Works, however the annoying thing with the ownboard one is that when the battery is fully charged till do a couple of miles the ESC complains (the remote vibrates and brakes the board when not accelerating)
The @SKULLBOARD ESC will handle 12S just fine, even full battery the brakes worked, just the controller vibrates at random times right along with the vibrating hubs lol.
