Evolve Heatsink For Dual FOCBOX's

Wrong vote for me, sorry :grin: Don’t know how change it

What’s the size of the old/new bolts? These aren’t the bolts that hold the heat sink onto the enclosure?

Here is what I mean:

The bolts on the old FOCBOX (left) just don’t secure it enough to the Heatsink cause they are too long.

The bolts which secure the Heatsink to the enclosure are all the same and come with the Heatsink:

Can you give the new bolts specs ? Sure we can find them quickly (i have only old focboxes)

Sorry, don’t get it. The PCBs look identical to me. So you are saying the old focbox (aka VESC-X) has a different layout on the bottom side and the riser studs are not tall enough?

What’s the length of the heatsink screw? I would like to order some stainless steel ones!

Cheers

Yes, what you need is M3 x 6mm

@anon42702729 damn you have the design? It wasn’t easier for you to get the heatsink made for you instead of waiting?

The PCB’s are exactly the same dimensions, it’s the bolts they come with. Old FOCBOX’s have longer bolts, so they don’t screw in to the stud you circled completely and so the PCB is loose. If you switch to shorter bolts, they will screw in completely and the FOCBOX’s will be secured perfectly!

Makes more sense now?

I just went for a long drive, there are no shops around me with such bolts. So I’d have to order them, and they can take some time to arrive. I don’t know how long.

Ok il have them, so no problem for me (bought on Amazon)

So then the vote from you is correct?

Yup , right :slight_smile:

I needed it to see how it all fits.

@BoostedBuilder I just changed my vote, I think I can get a hold of the bolts myself. Either way, thanks for the updates and offering to go the extra mile to provide the correct hardware!

If someone posts a link to the correct bolts I might change my vote

There you go

When I look that up I get 100 quantity packs, which leads me to believe only one person should order them. If I’m mistaken, please post a link :smiley:

I can probably get mine from work, so I’m set, but I did see a few eBay sellers offering 50 piece packs.

LoL aluminum sounds like a bad idea

Oops, can’t believe I missed that. I got distracted by the flashy colors… Here’s a 10 pack of titanium alloy ones: https://m.ebay.com/itm/10pcs-Hexagon-Button-Head-Socket-Cap-Screws-M3-x-6mm-8mm-10mm-12mm-15mm-/312199577661?_trkparms=aid%3D555018%26algo%3DPL.SIM%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D20150519202348%26meid%3Df36fd0287ecf427b9136c6d7ac3c5ee8%26pid%3D100408%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D16%26sd%3D252801486151%26itm%3D312199577661&_trksid=p2056116.c100408.m2460

I changed my vote

I’m using a set of new Focboxes so sending out now will do it for me :smiley:

haha it’s just bolts! I really just don’t want people to wait any longer since I already took much longer than I planned.

Anyways, here is the list of people that I can confirm I have the address and payment. If you’re not on the list and you paid, please let me know:
