What is your max phase current setting for the 5085 motor? I assume it has to be lower than the 6384. According to Flipsky it is 50A which seems a bit low to me. Although I set the saite 6384 to 140A phase current, I could get on my gong trail L 1600cm2 pump foil with arount 70A phase current in flat water. I’ll probably start with 80 to 90A, would be a pitty to 
it.
60A current protection in blheli 32 on the flycolor esc. I have used the 5085 extensively with these settings and it is still running smoothly. Ocean water temp has been in the 15-18 degrees celsius. I use a 4’6 33L and 750 afs silk v2 for 80kg, can flatwater start with a couple of strokes to help. Probably using around 30A when motoring around connecting waves.

Hi,
I will soon test the flipsky 5085 with FT85 ESC, do you know if the BLHELI 32 max current protection is for motor current or battery current ?
I contacted racepow for 2 lipo 6S 25A : 195 $ per lipo + 85 $ for shipment. Do you confirm you also have the same shipment cost ? (delivery to france)
No VAT ?
I already have a 12S3P molicell P42 A 12,6 AH, quite happy, but I would greatly appreciate more autonomy (that’s why I’m looking for 15 or 18 or 20 or 25 A)
My “performance” for now after a bunch of sessions : 45 minutes, 9-10km, maybe 30-40% surfing, and the rest motoring, witth 900cm² front wing, 70kg). Quite surprised by your numbers (1h-1h30 session on the afs enduro 800 with 1S2P 13AH), do you pump a little ?
Thanks,
BlHeli amp cap is for the motor side from what I understand.
Racepow shipping was 25usd for both orders I did, 4 weeks to arrive. Supposedly there was a 50usd option for 2 weeks shipping. I wasn’t asked to pay vat or import taxes. It was shipped in spain, maybe it is different. Send me a DM if you want the sales rep whatsapp number (Tsuki).
I start with the help of a wave to minimize throttle use, link waves, pump between waves, motor with the minimum throttle necessary. So the batteries never get a big discharge, and some time to recover between every use. Doing breaks sitting in the water between sets also help a lot. Probably 50% surf, 10% pumping, 40% motoring. Also, going from molicel p45b to samsung 50s to solid state I observed a better capacity to retain and recover the voltage (independently from the battery capacity). On the silk 850 I could do 15km+ on the 12s2p 13ah on a clean day. On the silk v2 750 it is less, maybe 12km. Choppy waters and current definitely degrade the autonomy.
