Hi everyone -
I am having issues with my DIY foil assist build and am really beating by head against a wall.
Build details
Flipsky 6384
Flycolor X-Cross HV3 160A
Flipsky Two Blade Prop (and 3d printed hub with same results)
Camdenboss Enclosure w/exteral heatsink for the ESC
Olaflex 400 3G2.5 cable
Monicel 45B 6s2p x2 - 12s2p/48v total
Tattu 6s 7000mha Lipos (have a whole bunch from work)
Flipsky VX5 Remote
Axis Spitfire 960
JS 4’8 48L
The Problem!
I have an issue where the motor seems to be lacking any power. Under full throttle it hits a stop point where it throttle cuts when drops rpm down until it throttle cuts. I have managed to stop this by changing the “gear” setting on the low to limit to 50% throttle and as a result I can hold the trigger down and it will not throttle cut. However, this results in a lackluster power delivery (max 4km/h), walking speed and zero chance of a flatwater get up. I weigh 85kg. This is the same with both monicel and lipo packs. Unsure if this is expected and I have unrealistic power expectations from this set up.
What I have done -
Played with esc settings with no real improvement (temp limits off/on, amp limits off/on)
Replaced the cable
Checked all fittings/connectors
Removed rear circlip on motor checked for grinding/issues.
I am at a loss as I have seen so many other lower voltage builds with the same components. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers Jonno
