Foil Drive Assist, DIY

This one is 120kv. On AliExpress there is a variety from 120kv all the way up to 250kv. I’ll have my paddle (which will be doing a lot of the work) and I use the axis 1300 png foil which is about as big as they get. It cost £30. It’s worth a try at least.

Efficiency wise i agree but if you’re looking for the absolute lightest setup to get up on then might be possible with the smaller motor, my thinking is that he lower kV might not make sense since motor won’t be able to make the same max torque, then to increase power you could aim for rpm instead. Go to higher voltage maybe?

The lvc is a bummer but for the motor weight difference you could add 6pcs 21700 batteries.

FYI: AliExpress’s 11.11 sale is today. With a $12 coupon (for purchases above $89), these are the current prices I’m seeing, including shipping:
Flipsky remote VX3 pro $82
Maytech remote v3.0 $92
Flipsky 6374 waterproof motor $100
Flipsky 6384 waterproof motor $123
Sequre 12200 esc $68 just add another product and $25 coupon above $169
Sequre 12100 100A esc $45 with $5 coupon Has anyone tried this small 100A ESC? It might be sufficient…

These ss 316 bearings got a 50% lower price now - take a look at my current cart and the previous order.

Certainly good value for money, nearly on the market, curious to know the price tag
