VESC Electronic Speed controller with cables

The VESC Electronic Speed Controller.

Globally renowned high quality motor controller

You will likely have come across VESC™ by now, it is very special in the field of Electronic Speed Controllers so we are very proud that our boards all come as standard with a VESC™ and VESC™ BMS.

VESC6 Mk6 HP – Quite simply a higher powered version of the VESC6 Mk6, with the same trusted reliability and ease of control. Why High Power? Because the mosfets in the HP allow more amps to run through.

VESC6 Mk6 – An incredibly reliable and high performing compact speed controller, used by over 2000 companies in many other applications across the world

VESC 6/75 – If you are using a 16s Battery Pack to power your mountainboard this controller will automatically be selected to handle the higher voltage.

Which Battery Pack?

We make battery packs for both Li-Po & Li-Ion cells.  The (S) stands for Series - adding cells in series increases voltage, The (P) stands for Parallel - adding cells in parallel increases capacity.
A higher voltage will take you faster and higher capacity will take you further. See the table below for further comparison:.

Li-Po: These cells are more expensive, however you may consider them worth it because they have less components and therefore provide easy plug and play capability as well as making it possible to do a quick battery swap. Li-Po cells also have a higher discharge performance than the Li-ion packs. 

Li-ion:  Individual cells means that you have a serviceable battery pack, swapping out only the individual cells should they be damaged. These cell packs require some electrical knowledge.  

We suggest that if you have limited electrical knowledge that you choose Li-Po batteries for their ease.
