Physics can’t lie…the more weight you are moving, the more energy you have to introduce.
I am looking for a new setup, as the current is “outdoor”, using a normal board and having the battery and VESC in a case on top of it.
Next version will be with a new board and battery inside the board etc…
From the logs with that version and anticipating few improvement, a smaller motor like the 6384 can be (refer to JeffM v7 project).
To stop polluting Hsyn post, I am also considering the 65220 motor including the 75100 VESC as it is saving all the stuff related to the cooling of the electronic.
10 AWG battery wires are small but they will be cooled so capable to handle the higher current during take off.
I keep an eye on your project Hsyn and thank you for testing and sharing !
I wasn’t implying that your theory of “lighter is better” was incorrect. However I have had a friend who is substantially heavier than me ride my board successfully so in practical terms I believe that small weight alterations have no visible impact on ride performance on a full Efoil - non pumping rig.
To stick to this topic I don’t understand why someone would choose the 65220 integrated 75100 over the tried and true combo of 65161/75200.
It’s been pointed out that the 65220 setup has a greater potential for heat related failure and would be a more challenging repair, it’s also lower spec so logically less capable if required. The cost isn’t much different either.
I wish you success in your new build. I also began with a Frankenboard rig and then transitioned to a mainstream design and it made a massive improvement in ride quality and enjoyment
I went from 75200 to 75100—smaller, still tons of power. Now eyeing 65220 for easy setup—no water pipes or extras needed (my ESC stays outside the battery box, like in my pics).
Pavel, how do you waterproof the data connections (uart, ppm, usb… with your 75100 exposed to water? I have looked at your build but cant see those connections.
