Maytech remote required modifications before use

[mattgalic]

Finally not the worst option…
Around 70€ for MTSKR2005WF V2. Even if Maytech continues to claim an IP66 resistance, I have a strong doubt on its capacity to even be dust proof. LCD has no coating and glass protect is not sealed at all.

Let’s operate!

I did the same on the MTSKR2005WF V2. The three speed modes work exactly as I want them to where if you say set speed 1 to 50% then the new max trigger throw now = 50% throttle. This is a much better option if you plan to get into waves and need a higher granularity of throttle with just enough power to get up on foil. They sure are charging a lot for just a crappier firmware that only has cruise control for the e-surf MTSKR1905WF V2 version!

So after having to repair and redo the waterproofing on my V1 remote many times it finally called it quits and died. Still with no other alternatives I reluctantly purchase the new V2 esurf remote. After all it apparently has "double waterproofing for double the price. So before entering into the salt water with my expensive remote, I thought that I would open it to see whats different to the less waterproof V1 remote.
Well, what I found was no waterproofing at all on the LCD. This wouldn’t last five minutes in the salt water.
Oh… But i guess it must be my fault. Miss use.
Maytech you are such a pathetic company @Eileen

Get in on this one! @samisin is really close to having something way better. I am waterproofing the crap out of my enclosure I will use for this one now…

Ultimate watersports Remote & Receiver

The enclosure plastic parts design is going very slow! Designing for prototype or proof of concept much simpler than designing for manufacturing and at the same time trying to keep it cheap for low quantity. Water seal, Two shot ejection to bond silicon and abs, makes it very complicated and expensive production process. I have been testing the hardware with @Hiorth brothers remote design with small changes but it is not a good fit for this design! There is no proper space for GPS for example,…

The remote PCB is sealed by waterproof nano-coating and double protected by glue.
The remote screen is sealed by waterproof nano-coating, not glue. When use it in water, water will get in between the outside and inside screens. It won’t influence using. When don’t use it, please put it in dry place and it will dry slowly. And when disasseble the remote screen, please make sure not to damage the nano-coating.

I am using Vincent his remote.
We did do some underwater testing and till now no problems.
Unfortunately it is to cold to try it in action.

1st impression - Vincents Waterproof remote!

Today I received Vincents (who is a Swiss) Waterproof remote, and can finally start playing with it. Please note that my dad (and I) payed for it (and yes. Even the import duty!) (Fact: Switzerland is surrounded by EU country’s, but is NOT in the EU!) The kit arrived neatly packed, and I needed a sharp knife to open the box! After opening it, it had the remote, receiver, wrist band, amp sensor, water / flood sensor, extension cable for water / flood sensor, temperature sensor and charging st…

So nano that is not watertight…

[rogjalon]

So what you are saying is the remote isn’t double waterproofed as advertised

[mattgalic]

Mine is now ready to ride in salt water!
Silicon coating > ACF-50 > Silicon grease
+lot of EVA foam for buoyancy

Thanks Flightjunkie, This is very helpful. Looks like Flipsky might have a better option after Chinese New Year. I will open it up and compare to your good work here.

Hey @sniper, did the blue silicon work for you? If so, what product did you use?

[bmbeam]

@Sliman_O, would you recommend the overvoltage protection board? Can you provide any tips for how you made this modification?

hello yes it’s work like we want! you just need a two component silicon for do it because the original pot is not good good…everybody should do it

[Flightjunkie]

I can’t tell what that product is, but I advise against using any silicone product that dries to a hardened state.

Only use silicone grease.

[sniper]

yes grease is good too this silicon is like all other bicoponent you can find just different shore for different use…but work fine and no to much dry to come off with vibratíons it stick well👍

Wiring instruction for the overvoltage protection board:

[sniper]

This is for 1 cells ?..

[bmbeam]

Earlier in this thread Sliman_O suggested installing it in the Maytec remote to prevent overcharging. I’m in the process of waterproofing my remote, and will install the overcharge protection chip.

[sniper]

Ok this what i’m thinking…good Idea ! I just charge the remote only 1 hours at once and it was good but need to stay near my remote during charge…but now i use it for eskate i use for efoiling thé Vincent remote better response curve for me and gps speed records on screen i need to do a review or yes sun is coming in France

[anno]

does the v2 still overcharge the battery?

there is a lipo in it which will catch fire if overcharged?! are you really sure this is possible?
