TORQUE ESC compatible with VESC® Software.

TORQUE ESC based upon the VESC® Open Source Project.

The TORQUE ESC BLDC is the latest and greatest Open Source ESC which we specifically use to control our Electric Skateboard Motors. It was built from the ground up with many customize-able settings that traditional RC ESCs don't offer.

v4.12 Hardware
v3.34 Firmware

TORQUE ESC BLDC Open-Source Electric Skateboard ESC VESC is an open source, highly modifiable electronic speed controller based off of the Open Source Project by Benjamin Vedder. It works fantastic for building your own DIY Electric Skateboard. The TORQUE ESC allows you to use sensorless motors to achieve smooth start-up from a stop versus traditional RC ESC's which have trouble starting from a complete stop. You can connect your TORQUE ESC via Mini USB to your computer and modify VESC settings to fit your needs.

The VESC Tool is only available on Windows and Linux. There is no MACOSX SUPPORT. Our VESC ships to you tested multiple times during the production cycle.

Pre-configured for a Single Motor Electric Skateboard with our 6355 190KV Electric Skateboard Motor and our 12S2P Electric Skateboard Battery Pack. Your VESC will perform better when configured for your particular motor and battery voltage. Please refer to our videos below for more information on how to program your VESC. You may need and/or require the following items below with your VESC.

Compatible VESC Additional Items

Don't forget these items as you may need them for your VESC to function properly!

Male to Male Servo Connector - Connect your 3pin PPM TORQUE ESC pins to your Electric Skateboard Remote.

Connectors Required for Single Motor Setup

Male to Male Servo Connector - Connect your 3pin PPM VESC pins to your Electric Skateboard Remote. The Male to Male Connector will plug into the VESC into the Remote Receiver. This is required for communication between the VESC and Remote Receiver.

Connectors Required for Dual Motor Setup

Male to Male Servo Connector - Connect your 3pin PPM VESC pins to your Electric Skateboard Remote. The Male to Male Connector will plug into the VESC into the Remote Receiver. This is required for communication between the VESC and Remote Receiver.
VESC XT90 Parallel Connector - Connect Dual VESC's power plugs XT90s for power source. The XT90 Parallel Connector connects the power wires in parallel for a Dual Motor setup. Required for Dual Motor Setup.
VESC CanBus Connector - Connect Dual VESC's for data communication. Don't forget to set VESC to Master/Slave. The CAN bus Connector communicates VESC 1 to VESC 2. Required for Dual Motor Setup.

Additional Connectors

VESC Sensor Wire Adapter - The Sensor Wire Adapter is an adapter to connect our Sensored Motors sensored cable to the VESC. Sensor wires aren't required but are typically used in FOC Sensored (VESC Mode) which will be more silent. About 95% of users run Unsensored setups since they work perfectly without sensors. This is just an added option and not required. If you choose not to use sensors that are included in the motor you can simply tuck them into your enclosure. I would not recommend cutting off the sensor wires.
Mini USB Cable - A Mini USB cable is required to program the VESC. This is a standard Mini USB Cable and isn't required if you already have one.
