ENERTION FOCBOX UNITY FOC Brushless Motor Controller

OMG FOC BOX IS HERE!!! One of the most exciting controllers to hit the open markets in years, and one that will be around for many years to come, the Unity FocBox is an extremely robust package with everything from USB-C to 160A continuous draw with 300A Max capability.

This OpenSource VESC is the cat’s ass and anyone who is reading this will know, this is a game changer for 2019. Currently showcased in both the Enertion 2 & 2.1 and the Lacroix current models.

The Unity FocBox is the first place you need to look to get your Esk8 moving! The best VESC on the market with the end user in mind.

The Unity FocBox boasts a very comprehensive lineup of features brought to you by the great minds over at Enertion. One of the most exciting controllers to hit the open markets in years, and one that will be around for many years to come, the Unity FocBox is an extremely robust package with everything from USB-C to 160A continuous draw with 300A Max capability.This OpenSource VESC is the cat’s ass and anyone who is reading this will know, this is a game changer for 2019. Currently showcased in both the Enertion 2 & 2.1 and the Lacroix current models. The Unity FocBox is clearly the leader in this field.

One of the most notable features of this VESC would be the opensource programming software and the licensed Bluetooth connectivity. The open source VESC (TM) project was born out of the DIY community. It’s the brains you build your board around, then you’d configure your own settings based on your battery and motor specs (to put it simply).

The FOCBOX Unity is set to change all of that. A dual motor “VESC’s (TM)” quality ESC on one PCB.
