Know what kind of throttle/ brake he uses?

258

I don’t, but its something standard. The Vesc-Tool allows you to select such a throttle as input device.

That would be actually great, as I wrote to You I plan to mount both of my beta VESC 6 on a custom heat-sink and sketch would let me to make it before VESC itself arrives.

There is at least one other technique using coherent porous silicon.

267

Yes please. Like @squad, I’m in the way to build a mount plate for them (will be mounted using Holypro truck screw). Having the dimensions now allows to save few weeks of beta testing :wink:

268

Just out of curiosity, how many beta users / devices are there ( @trampa )?

269

We limited it to 50 devices. Overlookable… If you are interested PM me, maybe I can find a last pair of Vescs for you.

Thanks for the info and offer (and all your effort organizing all of this with BV)! I am already one of the 50 :smiling_imp: (so I just learned ^^).

I’m making my first build with a vesc 4.12. I’m new but fairly handy, and have a background in engineering.

I would also be interested in beta testing if it’s still an option.

273

Any room for a newbie to get in on this… in other words i am also interested in beta testing & or getting on the list to purchase once beta tested? Or are there prequalifications/prerequisites that i may lack? Either way much respect. I look forward to purchasing two when they are ready. Thanks

274

I would be down to beta test

There is some room left since we increased the Beta batch due to min order quantities. So anyone who is still wanting to get in please PM me your name and mail + quantity ( 1 or 2). I’ll drop you on the list and send you a mail later this week.

Hi Beta II testers, after doing some more maths on the VESC 6 Beta, we have to announce that we can’t sell the VESC 6 Beta II at the same price we did before. I would love to be able to offer you guys the same deal, but its not possible at this stage. So we made the decision to offer you the following limited forward ordering deal:

If you buy two VESC 6 Beta, we can offer you 195 GBP per VESC. If you buy a single you can get it for 220GBP.

All Beta VESCs will have all cables and connectors (XT 90) + Housing (Heat Sink), basically Plug and Play.

Sorry that we can’t offer the 175GBP price any more. Actually this was price was based on a miscalculation and Beta I testers were more than lucky to get away with it. Ted and I did the maths today based on the latest quotation.

Anyone on the list not agreeing on the new pricing: Don’t worry your purchase is not compulsory, so its up to you to step back.
