Out of price ! Compared to the quality and features of other remote such the wand … which is not waterproof but still …
Do you mean way too expensive? If so I fully agree! The Maytech remote is way overpriced for what it is.
I think I might embark on a mission to design a decent waterproof remote shell that can then house a few different circuit options. That would give the guys here and relatively easy DIY option.

I designed a simple one. It is based on this remote:
I designed new housing, and replaced the VR from gaschannel with Hall sensor. Basically this is the only soldering, except the 2 LiIon cells. The Handle is based on a 7,2V Lithium screwdriver I designed a while ago.
Switch will be secured with silicon, so that it can make the necessary movement. On the bottom I placed a tread for a PET bottle cap, to have a place to store the charge plug.
If you are interested, I can share all 3d files and necessary parts. But firt I want to test it, hopefully this weekend.
Both halfes will be glued together, and everything inside will be pottet with silicone.

Yes. Works good.You need to waterproof the prints, as they are leaking a little. The best, it is still floating. Only the throttle response is not as smooth as with a vr. Maybe another choice of magnets might change that.
If anybody is interested, I can send the 3d files.

How much of a discount did you get off this remote?
We bought 3. I don’t remember the discount amount. But, they are pretty good about knocking a bit off if you buy more then one. Email them and ask.
Was looking for some jet parts on MHZ website and saw this :
Looks pretty familiar right ?

How do you find the trampa remote? Any good?
What are you doing to waterproof it?
The Trampa remote is actually made by Maytech. Not very good for efoil. The thumb throttle is just too small and it is not waterproof, obviuosly. It fits nicely in a sexual rubber seal however. Which is what I did for waterproofing. I ended up buying the maytech waterproof remote instead. Expensive but worth it in the long run. I just got tired fiddeling with the homemade options.
I’m guessing you using the older trampa remote, not the new one?
Can anyone offer any feedback on the v2 maytech remote waterproofing? Is it holding up ok.

I have one without the cruse control. So maybe its a V1. I like it. Never had any problems with it. made about 30 flights total in fresh water.
That’s the old one! Trampa launched a new vesc remote called the WAND! If anybody has it, please share your experience with it!
I just got a real brand new maytech V2 which is not too bad… I’ll give you feedback quickly…

Dose that remote work with an Flier 400A Boat ESC together?
