Foil Drive Assist, DIY

Thanks Tim!!
I’ve actually just updated the board to 12S because it’s nice to have the extra power and since I’ve had some water ingress in the plastic housing I’ve switched over to an aluminium one.

Here’s the link:

The housing has the exact space for 12S2P, which equals the 8S3P (24cells) which I’ve had before.
I’m using normal XT90 plugs to connect the battery to the ESC, and using a small resistor (10 ohm/5 watt) which was recommended by @Toto44 as an antispark.
But you could also get the designated XT90 which have antispark built in.

To connect the phase wires I’m using 7mm bullet connectors.
Battery cable is 10AWG, phase wires are 12AWG.
Thanks to @hangloose, I’ve ditched the BEC and just use a 2S connector of the balancer plug of the battery to feed the maytech receiver.

Battery has no built in BMS and is balance-charged using iCharger X12 with 48V/ 1000W power supply.
