to be honest i just used this setup one time so far, but im super happy with the impulse 110! they are super stable and very easy to control! I was able to do a slalom between some buoys at the first try. they lift you out of the water super quick i guess already around 12km/h but i didnt took any masurements yet. im using the sss 500kv motor with a 5:1 gear from Reisenauer (Germany).
Nope they are compatible, ive just shorten the Mast to fit it in the Car^^
Got the prop file from a Friend i think its a costom design, 3D printed PLA reinforced with glassfiber
nice build.
IIRC efoils (as well as car racing) are not allowed in Switzerland. how do you cope with the situation?
i’m asking because you have some really beautiful lakes over there.
Thank you! Unfortunately you are right … usually i go to france to ride -.- i’m trying to get a special permit to be able to use it in switzerland but without a permit it’s to risky and not really enjoyable
How did you learn how to make the board? I have a slight idea how to shape foam with glass, but have no idea how to build with carbon. Do you have resources to share?
my first project with glassfiber was my broken surfboard witch snapped in 2 parts ^^ in the last 3 years i’ve build 3 efoil boards in total like this i collected some experience… but there are also many good youtube videos!
to shape the foam i’ve build some templates and used a hot-wire to cut it, like this you dont have to sand for days ^^
there is not a big difference between glass and carbon, you just have to know its way stiffer so if you have edges its pretty hard to have the layers perfectly on it -> best thing use a vacuum bag!
i put the batteries and the other electronics in waterproof boxes inside the board! the board keeps most of the water out and inside the Boxes its totally dry! but I wasn’t happy with this sticky foam sealing so im going for a silicon one but this is still in progress ^^
Very nice build indeed ! Could you share you CAD with me loulouki @ gmail dot com or even better put it online for anyone on a shared foder? If someone proficient enough with CAD can make a printable pattern that would be perfect :-p but I might be asking for too much.
thank you! on cause of the big request you are right i put it on thingeverse yo everyone can download it!
i studied mechanical engeneering in switzerland … do you want to print it with 3D printer ? i would suggest to use foam, just in case there is a hole i dont want to dive for my efoil ^^
