How do I connect my sensored motor to vesc? I know in rc controllers you have to match a, b, c correctly.
I have the connectors on order right now. As soon as they arrive I will have an adapter cable available for a plug and play operation.
So excited to get my vesc and motors 
Has anyone found a truck that will fit dual rear wheel set up.
Indy 215ās will fit

What motor pulley are you guys using?
DIY is a good source, they use what I would consider standard for eboards.

@chaka I saw the indi trucks but I thought someone might know of a magical shop that sold 205 - 215 trucks. Thanks.

Edit: These have a hanger width of 185mm so they are not wide enough to go dual rear.
but they are the same width as calibers???
I think they are. 
We need to find a good source of randals for you dual rear riders!
Tracker darts 219mm trucks come with an 8 1/2 inch hanger. http://store.puredist.com/p/tracker-dart-model-truck-219mm-polished-silver
They would need to be machined a little to accept @psychotiller and @torqueboards paris mount.

@Chaka can you provide a bit of guidance regarding the sensor connectors for your motor. It appears the VESC has a six pin female configuration and the motor has a five pin male. Do I need to switch the connector or is one of the pins irrelevant on female side?
@kandmelinda @bender Your FOC is probably not working because your battery min/max settings are not set for a 3S battery. Iād change those and it should work after that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJFHsRtLtnI. You can also see my setup for FOC.

For anyone wanting to hook up the sensors. Youāll need a different header to use as an adapter since the one that comes with the motors donāt fit or align up to the VESC.
I ordered these http://www.ebay.com/itm/131589536983?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT, but you may want to get a 6-pin one so you donāt have to do what I did and remove one of the wires to fit directly into the 5v lead. However, I know that these fit well with the VESCs.
If you get the above you should remove the red and black leads and place the black one where the red one was. The red lead will go straight onto the VESC as shown. Once you place the JST header into the VESC, the flange on the header should secure the red lead as well. From there just solder the header on the other side (make sure it lines up with the motorās JST).
One thing to note is that the motorās JST header fits on sort of backwards of how you would expect, but is otherwise snug and secure. The missing pin between 5v and hall1 is the temp data which isnāt present on the OM5065.

Thanks @torqueboards I actually had already seen your video and my voltage was correct for my battery. Itās very strange because its intermittent. It works fine sometimes and I get an error sometimes. I might try a differnt USB cable.
Much appreciated
What are you guys doing for the keyway? The motors didnāt come with any keys. You can get key stock and cut one, but Iām curious about what everyone else is doing. Is there a supply company that sells these precut?

Home Depot may have them
They do. They sell them in 12" sections.
