FLIPSKY 4.20, A Explanation to the mystery, and how to stop the cutouts entirely!

I can verify the Flipsky MiniFSESC4.20 that are currently shipping have arrived, and they do have the new 47Ω gate resistors.

(In case anyone wanted confirmation. :slight_smile: )

They shipped my dual 4.20 plus this morning. :crossed_fingers:

Did you just use your 4.20 to upgrade a full DIYEBOARD kit?

Yes. I replaced their ESC with the flipsky 4.20.

Sure

Mini FSESC4.20

The wires are 12AWG (motor), 12AWG (battery), and 26AWG (PWM) silicone-insulated stranded wires

Also came with these wires

What you ordered a dual unit?:exploding_head:

Can’t wait for your test results.

Thanks for the photos.

@b264 what is your reason for getting one of these?

I thought you were firmly in the camp of only using stuff proven to be 100% reliable.

These seem more on the experimental side for your style?

I am just surprised as the esc is one of the most critical items in terms of safety.

No way :rofl:

It’s two singles.

Trying to find a goto single ESC now that @onloop canceled FOCBOX production.

Also the small size of this specific unit allows me to decide whether to convert some single drive 6374 skates to dual drive 5065 which is more reliable.

Maybe. Just testing things out. I got two to try.

If either fails, I won’t be getting any more and will try something else, maybe something based on VESC 6.

That moment when @b264 gets the one batch of MOSFETs that results in shootthrough :rofl:

Fix for that is easy though, I just need to get an ubuntu box so I can compile the VESC source code :rage:.

Bumping this question, just because I’m still interested in the answer as it means I can look for the correct standoffs (if the built-in ones are removable, that is).

sorry for the late reply, yeah you should be able to swap them out and print a case for them. not sure what design you are going for but I guess either a full nut spacer and a long screw going through with a regular nut on the bottom side would be an option, or if height is an issue you could use the printed case itself as the nut spacer in order to not have a nut sticking out on the bottom side. just keep in mind that there are components real close to some of the the screw holes in the pcb.

they are using m3’s btw and I pm’d a boatload of pictures as I did not want to clog up the thread.

Haha yeh I got them, was a little worried when I saw all the notifications! Thanks those pictures will be great!

I plan to keep the heatsink etc as it is now, but I want to mount the entire VESC to a case using the current bolt holes, so I would just change the current spacers for ones the same height, but which are hollow so that I can screw a short bolt up from the bottom of the case and up into the bottom of the vesc and into the standoff.

Once I make it I’ll post it up here so you can see what I end up with :slight_smile:

Thanks again for the pics, they’re going to be a lot of help :slight_smile:

Got mine connected and bench tested today, waiting on a motor pulley to go test ride!

Has anyone run this on sensor less FOC?

y it’s fine

Just got my new 4.20 plus yesterday, do you guys reckon that it will run fine with with foosted built? I’m planning to use 40a max/min for motor and 20a for battery max…

Schtekarsten was using more aggressive settings with his, so it should be fine. I would still be wary and note any possible problems.
