Motors Coming Your Way!

We are excited to inform you that the Vertiq 8108s will be shipped to Crowd Supply’s warehouse the week of October 18th. After delays due to various electronic component shortages, the motor controller PCBs arrived last week, and we’ve assembled several motors and controllers for testing. Our test results so far have exceeded our expectations. Over the next week, we will be finalizing the firmware and perform final assembly and calibration on October 15th. Here’s a recent test video: Read the full update.
