Hi there,

My brother just ordered a complete E-takuma.  
He was so kind to order an additional remote control for me.  
As I am still using my condom-style skateboard remote, I really hope that I can somehow bind this takuma remote(manufacturer is BB-talkin) to my Flier ESC

Is anyone familiar with this remote? Its hard to find any info. It looks like the receiver is integrated on the esc… ([TAKUMA E-FOIL USER MANUAL Pdf Download | ManualsLib](https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1637050/Takuma-E-Foil.html#manual))  
Does anyone know where I can find a receiver that should work with this remote?  
My knowledge of transmitters and receivers is about 0. I hope someone can advise me and if its worth the effort to look for a receiver from another brand. (I dont expect BB-talking/Takuma to be very helpful in this matter).

Thanks!

Looks like (a long) retro engineering session.  
It might probably useful to know the BlueTooth chip, …

@Samisin, what investigation do you suggest to start with ?  
Did your search with the LIFT remote controller turn up ?

LIFT remote isa based on nrf52832. Would be very easy to hack it to use with another cheap nrf52832 or nrf52840 board like [this one](https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Nordic-Semiconductor/nRF52840-Dongle?qs=gTYE2QTfZfTbdrOaMHWEZg%3D%3D&gclid=CjwKCAiA-vLyBRBWEiwAzOkGVPNrVwpXlBYqh5WmgULN05-Ug3xDmJhH1aCOpsXYWps60QjZCOVcXhoCwzQQAvD_BwE)  
I have no idea about Takuma hardware until I see the inside. Ask the first I bet the receiver is separate board inside the ESC. they might be nice enough to sell the receiver separately

I know this is an old thread did this ever go anywhere? Th setup seems so proprietary. For example the Bec provides full battery voltage to the receiver. (47v) and the receiver steps it down with a big resistor.
