Cabronfoil, did you ask/consider having Saite make the leads long enough to make it to the backpack?
Edit - from Chris at Saite store:
"standard motor US$95.2 per pcs, waterproof motor with 2 meter cable is US$166 per pcs.
it is ceramic bearings and stainless bearing together, can be all stainless bearing if you want, unit price would be US$176 per pcs"
I didn’t realize Saite shipped multiple bearing types - I understand this is how the foil drive is built (https://help.foildrive.com/en-US/replacing-and-securing-bearings-on-foil-drive-motor-200447) - figured I’d point this out as I didn’t realize that.
Cabronfoil, thanks for putting this together, this is more-or-less what I’ve been looking to do, great to see it all summarized in one place!

So, for you that already have built this. How tight is it in the box?
I am conditioned by the batteries I have bought, that are two 6S2P batteries connected in series.
Initially I was planning to copy @JonathanC, but the Camdenboss 321 doesn’t fit and I would then have to go up to the Camdenboss 322. Now I have found that CHDX8-224C fits better leaving less dead space:
So general question is, what is the minimum space needed between batteries and sidewalls?
It looks like I can get the long cable for the same price, so I might try this first. If I don’t like it, I will get the spiral cable others have tipped me about.
Once I have all parts sorted and I start building, I can give a detailed list of everything needed.
Keep in mind that I have only copied what others have done
