Zesc Raiden-7 new 16s ESC for us Efoilers

The Raiden-7 board cost 189usd when launched last April 2019.
Component shortage/Covid/… it is 249usd today nov 2021, ie +32% increase. It will probably be more as soon as they are back in stock.

Does someone has a raiden-7 over?
I‘m interested…

The RAIDEN 7 has become a rare thing…crisis COVID …we will have to be patient and very responsive when it becomes available again…hoping that the price remains the same

From their website: “Our boss goes to school for further study, so the business is paused. ZESC will be back. Date is TBA.” Guess it might take quite a bit longer time than just a couple of months :frowning: Too sad, the ESC looks really promising. Anyone have a used one they want to sell?

Hej Kalle, I had one but broke it during installation due to intergration error, so never ran it. I do believe the max 140 phaseamps is just borderline thought. Maker-X 75200 is almost same price and has some more FETs, but lacks acceloremeter chip.
Go with this one, works well with 65161.

Tack för tipset!! @cim96dm7

The ZESC contact did respond when I asked for a rough idea when they would be selling the raiden 7 again. This was the response.

Hi! We will be back in late 2022 or early 2023. Date is TBA.

BR,
ZESC team.

I wanted to order a second one and I got the same answer as @MAC from the ZESC team. Hopefully: spring 2023 :pensive:

Hello,
I have been testing my efoil with the Raiden 7 for several sessions and since yesterday I have had a latency problem between my remote control (Flipsky VX3) and my motor (flipsky) in fact I press the accelerator you hear that the motor wants to throw but if I don’t help it by hand it doesn’t spin…
this in FOC mode because in BDLC mode the motor responds immediately.
Can you advise me ?
thank you

What are your vesc ppm app settings, is it in current control mode?

Hello i’m in current no reverse

Anyone heard any recent updates on when the raiden-7 will be back in stock.

Hi it’s planned for the end of the year normally. I hope so too.

I just received the mail that Raiden 7 is availible again.

I really like the controller and I also made custom firmware for it to be controlled via BT and driven by FeRo remote at the same time.

Is the unit shipped from the US?

From there I think:

Hey All,
Are there people using the Raiden-7HV for efoil. I had bought one awhile ago and decided to put it in after my other ESC died (I think I had some water get in my box). Are the newer reduced specs still good for efoil? 120A phase current and 80A battery.

Nice thin layer of thermal paste

I’ve been using the raiden 7 since 2021 and have never had a problem. I can’t remember the setting parameters, I’ll have to connect the Raiden to the bench to tell you. In the meantime, very good equipment…
