Hi, Im curious if this could be implemented to jet skis, particularly Sea Doo’s for the purpose of flyboarding?

If youbhave more specifications I could tell you!

Out of what material is it made. On my remotes most of the work goes into sanding them down and coating it in the inside with epoxy. Otherwise mine are not waterproof. I have 5pcs laying around from trail and error. Is your model 3d printed or from sls or what else?

@Felixfoiler answer in PM!

Is this something you don’t want to share?! I’m interested in the material and postprocessing.

This is a know-how and there’s a lot of spying guys here!

Ok. It’s a plastic shape, printed or molded, no rocket science I assume.
My DIY remote is printed in PLA, 4 outer walls and the inside coated with a thin epoxy resin.

Hi.so It’s 3d printed

Same thats how you get a 3d print truely waterproof.

This remote could not work even with a serious adaptation because it wouldn’t work underwater for 3s dolphin dives. An efoil remote is supposed to switch the motor off immediately if the radio link is broken.
Should it work, looking at the Zapata Racing (ZR) remote installation video " EMK V2 Installation Seadoo RXP300c" , there is a difficult cable and feature adaptation job.
Then the ZR remote looks really tough as it receives a beating any time it enters the water. I don’t think a 3Dprinted efoil remote can bear that.
That’s why the ZR remote kit is sold 1650usd (or 2300usd for the Seadoo plug and play kit ) !

I wanted to give a quick box opening review of Vincents remote. Everything was nicely packed and easy to set up. Reading the included instructions and using VESC tool on my laptop I was able to get the remote working in about 30 minutes. The menu functions on the remote are easy to navigate. I like the feature that you can set the RPM to a set value, So if your a beginner you can set 60% throttle and start learning to fly. I have not tested the remote on the water yet! I have only set up the remote for a bench test. The remote is a solid build, feels good to hold and looks quality. I had to modify the provided receiver/ESC cable with a JST-Ph connector to attach it to the Trampa ESC. I will revisit review after a true on water test. Cheers!

Comes with a water detector, temp sensor cable, floating wrist strap, current amp meter, wireless charger, receiver and remote!

Thank you very much for your first impression review.
The 3 poles cable was for the flood sensor and not for the ppm but it work also😉

Can’t wait to see your first wet test. Feel free to contact me for any questions! Regards!

I must write that I have never been able to get this remote working on the water. The signal is blocked when my carbon fiber hatch is on and there is no response at all. Since the antenna on the 433mhz cannot be extended I cannot run an extension. If anyone has suggestions on a solution for an antenna extension please respond.

Hello

Sorry to hear that. there is something strang because some of this forum @Kian, @sniper for exemple are using it from month now without any issues!

Can you tell me more about your settings?

Hopefully there is a simple way to extend the 433mhz antenna on my settings and put the antenna where you want. if you open the receiver box, you can put a small ufl connector, remove the white antenna and then put a antenna. Material can be for example found here:

For instruction, because I use standard adafruit feather radio module, you just should follow this file:

We have everything in a carbon box too, and are not having any connectivity problems.
Are you maybe running any other transmitters (Bluetooth / wifi from BMS system) together in the box ?
We did not do a range test, but will try to do so next time out.
