VESC Not Powering Motors After Heavy Riding

Agreed, I am waiting for a response from Enertion to see if the VESCs are covered under any sort of warranty. It is a hard pill to swallow when you spent $240 on speed controllers that lasted you two weeks…

If I could do it over again I would use high strand silicone coated wire, heat sinks, and lower the temperature cutoff range so I could be confident that the VESCs will run nicely for a very long time.

The VESC default temp settings are fine. I have been trying to burn one up with heavy use and have not had any success. I have even gone as far as intentionally overheating it repeatedly and haven’t been able to produce a hardware failure.

@nik please stop hijacking this thread if you have a problem create your own unique thread.

@longhairedboy @cmatson @psychotiller @torqueboards If you guys see this stuff happening please move the comments to a unique thread for each person.

Jumbling all this into one thread creates a mess.
