New waist belt foil assist build from Queensland

Finally finished my waist belt build. And tested it today. Worked flawlessly. Super happy and frankly couldnt believe how well it worked.

Components:

  • 80A Flycolor/Fly dragon ESC
  • AliExpress BDUAV 6384 120kv motor
  • Maytech remote & RX
  • Flipsky 2 blade folding prop
  • 12S2P battery (2 × 6S2P)
  • BEC
  • Camdenbox waterproof box.
  • flex 3x2.5mm phase cable
  • 3D printed phase cable guides for mast and board
  • velcro cable tidy sleeve for phase cable and leash
  • 25mm webbing leash )
  • cheap weight lifting belt for the harness. Really comfy.


A huge thank you to the foil.zone community and especially @JonathanC (sorry for all the questions).

Super excited to ride more and upgrade and build more of these.

I initially wasted many months trying to do FD gen2 style approach once i switched to a waist mounted camden box… so much easier and super quick to put together.

Interested to hear what others thinkmof performance.
I found on a Axis PNG1150 I could cruise on 63% but on a BSC890 it took 84% and the battery drained pretty quickly.

To be fair i am new to this and the board is a huge 125L SUP/Wing board.

Will try a small board tomorrow .

Obviously the BSC was nicer and turned nicely where as the PNG got up easily but was not easy to turn (felt like a balancing exercise)

Noce build. I’m also in the process of building a waist belt assist with a Saite6384 and a small vesc. Will be 12S 2P and optional 3P.
I see you ise an 3Pin XT60 to detatch the motor. I wonder where would be the best place for the connector. Either at the end of the board (where it can be foxed), or just at the waist box? I’ve seen both. I lean towards putting it at the end of the board.
Also what cable lenght (from the end of the board to the box) are you using.
