Vx5 remote gears prgramming

Hi guys,i just put in my efoil build today for the 2nd time,alibaba board,vx3,65161 motor and armstrong mast and foils.

My question is this, the vx3 remote only has 3 gear modes i.e low medium and high and are not adjustable.
So found it really hard to get up on plane as am 110 kgs,medium isnt enough but high is too much plus i have a very large front foil so wants to.pop up really early.
Really hard as im goofy and right handed so hard to keep trigger in just the right spot…whilst standing up.

The vx5 i believe can be programmed for up to 15 gears is that correct and if so how do they work as there is no up and down button.

I know you can adjust the low medium and high percentages as well,but really would like to know if anyone has experience with the virtual gears.

Ps also a pic of my board for fun,goes really well and very quiet with the flite prop.


hi amo
probebly your biggest problem is the board
not enough volume (i gues you beginner?) wil be hard to start like this
vx 5 you can put gear in L M H (like the vx3) and manual up tp 20 gears
you can change gears by pushing a button (right side under )
if the board nose coms up you must place front foot more forward on the board. (and back foot also more forward)
and learn how to control the trotle. (no need after start to pull the trotle all the way in)
