Board Compatibility Guide: Motors, Batteries & Motor ControllersUpdated 5 days ago

Compatibility Guide for Motors, Batteries & Motor Controllers

If you’re upgrading your board or replacing a part, it’s important to make sure everything is compatible. Not all motors, batteries, or motor controllers work across different boards. This guide breaks down which components match which boards.


🔧 Motor Compatibility

3500W Motors

Compatible with:

• Diablo Carbon
• Diablo Bamboo
• Diablo Renegade

These motors are exclusive to the Diablo Series and require the Diablo motor controller and firmware.


3000W Motors

Compatible with:

• Hadean Series
• GTR Series 2
• Renegade (First Generation)
• Stoke X
• Fusion

These motors are used on all modern 3000W platforms and must run with the appropriate motor controller firmware.


1500W Motors (Stoke Series 2 / Onirique)

Compatible with:

• Stoke Series 2
• Onirique

These motors use a different mounting design from earlier 1500W motors.


1500W Motors (GTR Series 1 / Stoke Series 1)

Compatible with:

• GTR Series 1
• Stoke Series 1

These are the earlier 1500W drivetrain motors used before the move to 3000W systems.


1500W Motors (GT Platform)

Compatible with:

• GT
• GTX
• GT ONE

These motors are specific to the original GT drivetrain.


⚠️ Motors are matched to the motor controller firmware. Swapping motor sizes between platforms is not supported.


🔋 Battery Compatibility

GTR Battery

10S4P 504Wh

Used in:

• GTR Series 1
• GTR Series 2


12S2P (10Ah)

Used in:

• Stoke X
• Fusion
• Diablo
• Hadean


12S3P (15Ah)

Used in:

• Fusion
• Diablo


12S4P (16Ah)

Used in:

• Hadean


12S4P (20Ah)

Used in:

• Hadean
• Diablo


⚠️ Even if battery types match, not all boards share the same deck mounts. Always confirm mounting compatibility before swapping batteries.


🧠 Motor Controller Compatibility (EFOC 1.0 vs 2.0)

Diablo MC (EFOC 2.0)

Only works with:

• Diablo Series

Required for 3500W motors and runs Diablo-specific firmware.


Fusion & Stoke X MC (EFOC 2.0)

Works with:

• Fusion
• Stoke X

Configured for 3000W motors.


Hadean & GTR Series 2 MC (EFOC 1.0)

Compatible with:

• Hadean
• GTR Series 2

Not compatible with:

• Diablo
• Fusion
• Stoke X


🔄 Transition to EFOC 2.0

As EFOC 1.0 stock runs out, we are gradually moving all board models to EFOC 2.0 for after-sales support, including Hadean and GTR Series 2 models.


How to identify your controller

Red PCB
= EFOC 2.0

Sticker colour

Yellow sticker
= Diablo boards

White sticker
= Fusion, Stoke X, Hadean, GTR Series 2 boards


📝 Key Things to Remember

• Batteries may sometimes be shared across models, but motor controllers must always match the motor size
• 3000W motors must use Fusion / Stoke X / Hadean compatible MCs
• 3500W motors must use the Diablo MC
1500W motors are specific to their original platforms

You cannot upgrade performance by swapping controllers between models. The firmware is locked to each board type to ensure proper motor operation.


If you want, I can also help you turn this into a visual compatibility chart for the Help Centre. It would make this article about 10× easier for customers to understand.
