Note: These are gamma tester units intended for pre-release testing. They are sold as-is with no warranty. Before ordering, please reach out so we can walk you through the testing process and what's expected.

Specifications:

• Motor Current: ±300A max (±406A measurement range)
• Voltage: 60V – 168V (200V rated components, 40s Li-Ion max)
• Weight: ~180g with standard wiring
• Dimensions: 110 × 51.3 × 29.8mm
• Mounting: 7× M3 pattern

Electrical Features:

• GaN (Gallium Nitride) power stage — dramatically lower losses than silicon MOSFETs, 24ns dead time, zero reverse recovery — Why GaN?
• Integrated CANBus, IMU LSM6DSV32X 
• Robust 2mm FR4 14-Layer 2OZ PCB
• Built-in ESP32-C3 running VESC Express — WiFi, Bluetooth, and LiSP scripting out of the box
• Phase shunt current sensing — ultra-low noise V0 & V7 sampling enables silent HFI sensorless operation. Accurate current measurement across the full duty cycle range, unlike low-side shunts that degrade at high duty
• Momentary button power control — auto shutdown on inactivity, low standby drain when off
• Power Connections: M5 crimping lugs (battery & motor)
• Signal Connections: JST GH locking connectors — CANBus, ADC, UART, PPM, Hall sensors, 5V/3.3V, SPI, Button, Encoder, Motor Temperature
• USB: Dual USB Type-C — one for STM32, one for ESP32-C3, both accessible via VESC-Tool

Motor Control:

• FOC, BLDC & DC: Compatible with sensorless, Hall sensor, encoder, or silent HFI (High Frequency Injection) — no sensor required, no audible noise.
• Control Flexibility: Current, duty cycle, or PID RPM control — adjustable limits for current, voltage, RPM, power, and regenerative braking via VESC Tool.

Custom Options Available

Custom G18 variants are available on request.

Voltage options:

100V version — EPC2361 GaN FETs, 3 in parallel
Typical effective RDS(on): ~0.25mΩ

150V version — EPC2305 GaN FETs, 3 in parallel
Typical effective RDS(on): ~0.73mΩ

200V version — EPC2304 GaN FETs, 3 in parallel
Typical effective RDS(on): ~1.17mΩ

We can also provide custom mounting plates depending on your build, heatsink, enclosure, or mounting requirements.

Contact us before ordering if you need a custom voltage version or mounting solution.

Note: When connecting the battery, use a precharge resistor to limit inrush current and prevent damage. Regenerative braking automatically reduces to 0A when the battery is full.
