This is a very good deal, although heavy because of old cells. They say Samsung cells so with 12s10p 25Ah, it is most likely a 25R cell with 20A each, so total 200A for the pack . Do you know how much cont/max current the BMS can handle? The capacity should be about 1kW; anyone verified this number? Just worried if these are old packs with reduced capacity due to shelf life.
How about the waterproof connector. Is it custom or can it be ordered on Ali etc?
@Youpi : I did buy the same hardware : Takuma battery, ESC FT85BS, W6 and 6384.
However, the speed is not enough to take off. Maybe it come from the propellers or from the setting on the FT85BS. Which max current did you set in the ESC ?
Did you find good propellers design (with one inverted ?)
Hi,
80A,
I am now using DS600 remote control with swimming cap !, far more better than W6.
PPM settings are special for this remote.
props (PLA is ok, then epoxy on blade to get more stiffness : helice_6384.zip - Google Drive

How is the performance in waves and resistance to rolling over? I’d like to try a windsurfer as they usually have a very flat tail and nice nose rocker.
You have the COG over the motors, have you needed to trim at all?
I think that’s the easiest boogie to build if you are a windsurder.
I tested a 55cm (plate) width, it was very unstable, better like maybe +65cm, the board is 55cm wide.
I haven’t really tested it in the waves yet, maybe this summer, and I still have things to improve …

Thanks, I’d be interested to hear how it works in waves. In principle, the windsurf board is designed for going 25-30 km/h over chop, so I am hopeful that it could be great in rough conditions. In your videos. it looks very stable
Centre of Gravity, I mean this distance, between motor and battery
Is this remote used for steering? Looks like an interesting choice
I use 10 to 5kg batteries, no need to pay a lot of attention of this part on this setup.
Video of the remote control in action. It needs to be set correctly.
There’s a button that allows you to hold the throttle !
Make sure you do your checklist before leaving…

I am really interested about info on the connector Takuma is using on these batteries.
Where can we buy them or CAD file for an adaptator?
thanks
