Comparison between Floatboxx VESC enclosures
All Floatboxx's
- are compatible with the XR and Fungineers platform.
- are compatible with the stock footpad and stock connector, without modification!
- maintain the full handle space
- have an aluminium heatsink to mount the VESC on
We currently make 4 models:
MCM
Compact, stainless steel VESC enclosure. Designed around the Cheap Focer VESC and supporting the original XR connectors for footpad, Hypercore motor and battery harness. CFocer is mounted to the aluminium lid.
MCM: Molex - CFocer - Molex
MLC
This is the Original Floatboxx. Completely made from aluminium and superlight. Designed around the Little Focer V3.0/V3.1 VESC and supporting the original XR connector for footpad and Hypercore motor. Battery cable via cable gland.
MLC : Molex - LFocer - Cable Gland
C-C
Our new modular platform for motor and battery cable via cable gland. A stainless steel body with modular aluminium heatsink to support various VESC models.
CLC : Cable gland - LFocer - Cable gland
CUC : Cable gland - Ubox 80V/100V - Cable gland
This is not compatible with the new Superflux connector, so we are phasing it out in favour of the V2:
C-C V2
Our new modular platform for motor and battery cable via cable gland. Updated to fit the Fungineers motor connector as well. A stainless steel body with modular aluminium heatsink to support various VESC types.
CLC V2: Cable gland - LFocer - Cable gland
CTC V2: Cable gland - Thor-300 - Cable gland
CX12C V2: Cable gland - Tronic X12 - Cable gland
CUC V2: Cable gland - Ubox 80V/100V - Cable gland

* Tronic 250R is about 31 mm tall. The clearance with our lid is ~0,5 mm. It is advised to take these steps to keep it safe:
- Raise the lid
- add 1 mm spacers below each lid screw (between the lid and the boxx ;-))
- buy 3 mm foam and cut the sealing yourself (use our 2 mm foam as template)
- in case of soft footpads: use a Footpad support plate to eliminate compression of our lid.
