When you have time, take a picture of the 12200 configurations with the blhelisuite.

very cool, nicely shaped board also.
some parts that could make a similar build quicker:
waterproof esc & motor full kit. in my experience the esc does not need cooling and everything works fine after a good few saltwater sessions

Really impressed with the performance so far of the Sequre 12200 esc but still nervous having read the number of esc failures on this forum, I’ll have a failure on a prefect wave day. So much so I decided to build a second esc and receiver unit and went with a Castle Creation Talon 120hv. Set it up and tweaked the settings with the castle link usb and for all its pretty heavy with heat sink case it feels and runs beautifully, hopefully get it on the water and tested this weekend.

Did you machine the ali end cap yourself ? Or did a local shop do it for you ?
Michael
I have access to a machine shop where I work so was able to machine it myself.
Originally I 3d printed the end cap which passed all my waterproof testing but over time it would start to deflect and bend out of shape, that was using PTEG-Cf but I’m sure there are better materials for that application.
Hey, I did a similar housing design for my foil assit. I wonder what did you used as a sealing bond between the 3D printed case (petg?) and the aluminium plate? (I mostly wonder because of the dilation difference that can occur here, I think epoxy can crack here)
Also, in the water, I guess that some condensation could be created on the aluminium plate due to the high temperature difference (sea vs box)
@Spearhunter the housing and cap are now both anodised aluminium. The seal in the cap is a 3mm thick silicone rubber gasket. With the cap secured / bolted down to the housing there is 18 to 20% compression of the seal. No issues with condensation
Thanks for the info ill have a look around for a machine shop locally, as my cad skills are not so great.
