How have people mounted the assist case on their boards where there is not enough space behind the deck pad. The board I intend to use has a deck pad with a kick tail almost all the way to the back of the board. I could try to cut out a section of the deck pad but keen to know if anyone has found an alternative solution.
Did you calculated the different parameter like flux linkage, inductance ect yourself using formula? Detection was off by heaps in my case, had low power in FOC and couldn’t run BLDC at all. As soon as I entered correct parameter it worked perfectly
for my wingboard, the kick is towards the back, but I foil a few inches forward of it anyway…I just cut a section out the width of the narrow side of box. A buddy has a diy board that he has cut out an indent and sunk box in 3/4…which would work but is pretty major surgery. Possibly could also fit in between feet in surf stance, that may be best option for prone boards.
If your board has footstrap holes at the rear you can use these and place box over the tail kick pad.
I just use a strap and loop system to tie the box down. It is best to cut the tail kick off to get it all flush and low profile.
Or try cutting a plate mount for fixings to footstrap screw holes out of plastic chopping boards, carbon fibre sheet, aluminium sheet or Perspex or anything stiff enough and low profile.
I have tried to share the file on the forum without success. If you can walk me thru the process I will share the file. Or message me your email and I can share it that way.
If you have google drive you can upload it there and share the link in a reply/post here or if you have a google/gmail account I can share my drive and you can upload it there. I can share the file here as well.
I just joined the site so I dont have access to DM as of yet, so I cant send you my email and dont feel comfortable putting my email in a post. lmk

I’ve also designed a foil drive unit. Here is a Thingiverse post for my Maytech remote holster. Both LH and RH versions to accommodate top or bottom hand mounting. I made mine in TPU. Very grippy. Also worked in PLA.
