Waterproof remote housing

I love this remote! Not only waterproof, long potentiometer, incredible signal in the water and good communication from Eileen.
photos attached, quick test with my daughter hanging on the strap, 35 kg
In my opinion it is very quality material.
Thanks

Good to see your strap is ok Virus. All I did was attached mine to my wrist 3 times, and I was told that it broke from misuse.

do not waste time on this remote
is really uncomfortable to operate, it is difficult to hold the finger steady on the gas
and without serious waterproofing is not working in salt water
i tried a lot of remote, it really sucks that everything is ready and you’re stuck because of a remote, it happened to me a few times so I gave up and ordered a remote from maytech
after calculating I’ve already spent much more on (8) remotes

Ok thanks. I have one but haven’t even taken it out of the bag. I was going to check it out after I get everything totally working. The maytech one works really well. I just need to figure out how to show the battery life of the pack on the remote.

hi everybody,i bought the maytech for my prototype today and which comes next week so so I can have my say,this will be the sixth that i buy!

For all efoil builders:

Back to subject topic, here is a very nice esk8 remote that deserves our attention and some customisation :slight_smile:
Evolve rev 1 was launched in 2016 ? This is rev 2 from dec 2017. Maybe Evolve could launch a esurf version (waterproof, distance switch-off, …) For that, we need to waive so that they can feel our market…

Very nice and which esc are you using now ?

arf still with my old alien sport II 350A, i want to buy VESC, but still hesitant between Flipsky and trampa.
during the time i tak my decision, will start some test with cheap solution :

Does it still float?

Well, if it is about hardware and not money (you can say what you want, but those flipsky are dirty cheap), the trampa escs are well designed and each one will just outperform every other in their league.

Every flipsky I am or had been using had at least 1-2 terrible design flaws. E.g. even the newest version still cant measure the input voltage accurately. I mean, it’s not that hard to wire up an ADC…but apparently out of flipskys scope since 3 generation of escs.

yes it should still float, i will confirm when fully assembly ( it remain : one layer of resin + silicone gasket)

trampa is my dream, but almost 3 time expensive, i think i will wait for the budget

Update with touch screen usefull :

The hammerhead remote from https://land-surf.com/products/hammerhead-remote
As a source of inspiration as it is for a skate therefore not waterproof
Sold 145USD… nano V2 encapsulation at 1:40

Hello,
Could one of you please confirm the connection of my nano throttle wires with a thumb throttle like you did @1113.
After using a voltmeter, here are the voltages at the terminals of the remote control at rest:

I deduce that the white wire (signal) goes in the middle …
Can you confirm that for me, please? Thank you.
