You understood that the new trampa remote will not work with the unity. It works with the focbox as it uses the vesc FW but th unity is different, so that will not work. Not for now as min.

I thought they are going to open source the firmware. Hoping that somebody have the knowledge and time to change the firmware that it can works with the unity.

Crap I forgot about it that. More deciding to do now lolā¦
Does anyone have any good advice for securing VESC enclosures to the back of a trampa board? I used a bit of dual lock but it seems its not enough
Yes. Donāt do it.
Put everything in the central enclosure.
I always screw them to a plate holden by the trucks screws ^^

What if you want to quickly swap the batteries, as is my plan!?
Why would putting everything in the same enclosure hinder you in any way?
I have seen many nice solutions that would allow for what you want to do.

Because if the vescs are in the battery enclosure its gonna be a pita. Im running a Li-ion pack, its not an option to quickly swap lipos

You can make a divider in the enclosure.
Mine is the Monster Box but you get an idea how you could do it. Obviously I also have foam in there to stop the pack from moving.
Another good idea, is if you are using a waterproof box to mount the vescs on the lid.

So this is what I have
The idea is to be able to quickly swap the battery packs
Which works well, I will make another big pack and a smaller one for jumps etc. So I am just researching the best way to secure the vesc enclosure at the back

Ok, the photos make it clear. I see what you have there. It looks like a very practical setup.
It is just that I have an aversion to any weight close to the ends of a MTB as it increases rotational inertia.

Yeah I see mate, its not too much weight tbh, 3d prined case etc.
Its mainly about swapping the batteries quickly, I want a long range board but also I can quickly put a small pack on there for jumping etc.

Just the inner spring holes. Best you can do. If you still have the old baseplate with only outer position holes you can just use some M6 threaded inserts. Easy thing, easy swap. If you want to have access to the screws later mount the escs facing to the top. Gives you more air flow anyway. Itās a win win
