FLIPSKY 75100 FOC 75V 100A Single ESC with Aluminum PCB Based on VESC for Electric Skateboard/Scooter/Ebike Speed Controller

Update: As of Jan 2023 there is a firmware update so this will run on the VESC v6 firmware. You'll need to download an manually update the firmware the first time. See the esk8 forum for instructions. This firmware fixes some issues in the stock firmware that ships with the device. I upgraded the motor and ESC on a Razor e100. This fit the bill and has plenty of overhead. Using with a Flipsky 6354 motor. So far no issues but this is bare bones so you may want to spend more money on an on/off switch. The VESC software has profiles and when I put it in Dad mode it pulls almost 100 amps. Kid mode allows you to cap top speed and max power which is nice. Definitely not an entry level esc but it works once configured.

These things are very weak, Easy to kill, Not ratted for 72v Batteries Systems. 2 in a row both got extremely hot and stopped working. Very safe setting were used on the 2nd one and still ended up not working. VESC TOOL Recognize that this controller is only capable of 72v MAX! So you cant used a Charged Battery. Im Not Buying This Brand Again. A very basic 80amp black box works way better.

First thing, the Flipsky VESC's never ship with the correct firmware installed. I installed the 75100 firmware with a 72V battery, and it read it as 120V and wouldnt run the motor setup due to an overvoltage. You can bypass by using 130V as the max voltage, or for some reason, use the 75100 V2 firmware. It works. Was a PITA but finally got it to work. Do not put this in a bag if using it for an Ebike, it will thermal throttle, I found that out quick. This controller needs to be in the open not in a bag.

Although I’ve been through a few of these flipsky customer service has been above and beyond

This one seems to work better than my older fkiosky 415. I constantly had problems hitting overvoltage when I fully charged my packs. This one streched the max volts and even has a higher contious amp rating but be carefull it has a much lower peak amp rating. Still within range of most battery packs but a custom one can easily be made to go higher so be sure to set max amps on your pack BMS if you went custom. The Aluminum casing give much needed protection and heat dissipation, they should have put a case on these from the beginning, especially considering the price tag right from the start. This aluminum case however only provides minimal water resistance since the port where the cables come out has no protection. Be sure to mount it so that the cables come down and the hole is facing downward so at the very least its not a water receptical.

You have to use 3rd party VESC software program to program the controller. Flipsky has some youtube links and a couple documents on basic programming of the 3rd party software but it's really not enough imo. This is a VESC controller, so it uses a 3.3V throttle, so if you have a 5V throttle or it wont work properly (and you are not supposed to use the 5v connections or it blows the controller people said) "Supposedly" you can calibrate a 5V throttle in the software, but I couldn't get it to work and the throttle was full throttle without hardly any input, and the motor never would spin up to max RPMS like my other controllers. The whole ordeal was a nightmare waste of time. I must have spend 10 hours wiring it all up, watching Youtube's, reading posts, and forums, programming the controller, trying to get it to work right. I decided that spending over $140 on this controller setup (controller, anti-spark switch, bluetooth module, connectors, etc) and not getting it to work after spending so much time was ridiculous. I sent it all back. Also it doesn't have a on/off switch or connector for one so you have to buy an antispark switch, or use a main power switch off your battery pack.

Great product just don’t update firmware

It did burn up after warranty. Worked great for a while, but I would say it’s not built to last..

After 4 days the Vesc I ordered dies with in 4 days I’m not happy

Super
