Not sure i understand that question:)
how do you cool your makerX 75/300 VESC, can you connect a VX3 remote control to this VESC
Which firmware version? Don’t update and run vesc tool 2.06
For the moment i use it without water-cooling for short period of time just for testing the setup. The MakerX is placed in a waterproof metal box found on Amazon. I will put mineral oil to protect the VESC from humidity and facilitate the vheat transfer. I am planning to add two water cooling blocks that fit perfectly the space inside the box. Don’t know whether i will put it inside or outside at the bottom. Don’t know for VX3 but I used a VX1 and VX2 succesfully. The VX2 is plugged to the UART port not PWM.
Home this helps,
i m running a 65161 on 12S with Flipsky75/200 watercooled with closed circuit on PC radiator/fan …plenty of ride…vesc is cool and never have problems . config is easy and running great
We’re making Fully waterproof watercooled version of MTSPF7.5HK.
it is completely waterproof even by the top sockets?
Hello Vincent, would you share a picture or scheme of your « watercooled with closed circuit on PC radiator/fan ». thanks,
I have an other set up I will share photos later on
90 mm radiator with fan . Small 12v pc pump and liquid pc cooling . Quite cheap and very effective . I hook up the pump and the fan to the relais of the maytech receiver so I can start it up from the remote . I used 3s lipo for the juice but I also take 12v from my batterie pack
No need to get water from outside i.e. also a struggle
All system is waterproof so no worries if water comes in
Thanks for sharing, Vincent! Nice cooling systems. Did you measure the max temperature when foiling?
you advise me to take the 75/300 trampa or the 60v MKV trampa knowing that I have a 13S 11P battery and a 65161 120KV motor
The 75/300 worked for me , just money size and wires the problem
The mk6 will be at its limits and I have not idea how high can be spikes on a 13s ( wires sizes length …) but I would not try
thank you alexandre
is your cooling passive or have you installed a desipator and mineral oil like some people do?
So far air passive cooling like my first built but I need to do more test during summer
Those battery connectors look like regular 8mm bullets. They are not anti spark, are they?
Do you simply connect your battery like this or is there some anti spark protection somewhere?
Did you ever had any problems with those self made waterproof connectors?
Proper Amphenol connectors are so stupidly expensive
The 8mm plugs are not antispark. This is not a problem since the circuit is closed by means of a 200amp circuit breaker. The connectors are waterproof so far. I have now two amphenol connectors to plug the battery. I am planning to use the Kilovac with a magnetic kill switch to replace the circuit breaker or put it un serie. The problem with the Kilovac was some overheating when the coil is powered by my 52V battery.
Hope this helps,
I see, but the circuit breaker is not anti spark either !? Or what kind of circuit breaker are we talking about.
So instead of having a spark when connecting the bullets you have the spark in the breaker when the circuit is closed.
And you use a circuit breaker as the main switch to power on and off your board?
Can you send a picture of your whole setup???
I’d be very interested in the details
Hi guys,
new one here, so bare with me please, i’m starting collecting ideas for my next efoil build, getting to know parts, batteries configurations, motor etc…
i have a vesc controller from other project that i would like to reuse, but now that i see what you guys are using, i’m not sure if it will be powerfull enough.
Can someone with more experience check it or recomend any other model of vesc?
This is what i have and actually it would nice to use it
One think that i always liked about this controller, there is no need to use anti-spark as it has power on/off circuitry integrated, it’s not a integrated antispark, and is posible to use a simple latching switch.
