So I’m about to go and order a bunch of parts and I figured I should run by my parts list with you guys to see if I buying the better product for my needs. I’ve been reading a lot here over the years and it can be overwhelming at times but I have the majority of it.
So the Plan and the Parts.
I’m taking a slingshot fish 5’ board with two cabrihna foils and mast 1 mast 70cm the other 90 cm. I plan on converting the 70cm mast to a fulltime permanent efoil with the motor pod mounted close to the foil for cruising flat water. and the 90 cm for a foil assist setup that’s removeable. both will be set up to connect to the backpack style battery mount on and old harness so as to not modify the board at all(easier to swap over to other boards.
I have a1200cm3 and a 950cm3 foils that will be used but mostly the 950.
I’ve tried 1 efoil it was a lift 4 150foil and it was heavy but really fast and more than enough power for me… but draggy.
I looking at mostly power assist for ocean surf and was considering a 5084 motor but other have suggested that the 6384 from flysky is a great first motor then down size from there so Im curious what setup to get is that 2 bladed folding prop anygood or should I get an aftermarket 3 bladed one any suggestions?
so I’m on saltwater so ceramic bearings short shaft? long shaft?
Flipsky Waterproof Brushless DC 6384 Motor 140KV 4400W for Surfing Boa – FLIPSKY
What esc should I pair with that and how bad are the new remotes for leaking.
They offer a kit at the bottom of the page for $346 esc, remote, motor and 2 bladed prop. I that what I should start with or up grade the remote to this
Flipsky New IP68 Waterproof Remote VX5 5000mAh With High Resolution Di – FLIPSKY
as for Batteries I have a bunch of tenpower 50xg 21700 cells coming that I’ll be putting into 6s2p packs to run in a pelican case at 12s2p and 12s4p.
Any and all advice would be appreciated
Cheers!
