Thanks bro for all explanation! Now I kind of get it
Have you done a speed/range test? How are you liking it so far?
Speed, it preforms the same as by loose belt setup, except with the confidence of instant torque.
Range… Unfortunately not as it’s been raining.
I barely got that ride in the hour break in rain the past week.
I miss the nc rains. I lived in Charlotte for 10 and Boone for 10 years, it would rain so hard they would close the school (asu). 52.65 freedom units of precipitation per year.
All the rain is doing is making me finish my e-surf for the lake quicker… lol
Blah rain.
You really making one??
Yeah man lol. I came from surfing. So only makes sense to circle back to it.
Those things burn up alot, off topic but anyway. Are you documenting the project somewhere?
Not yet. I need more parts to come in.
@b264 told me about the efoil.builders forum so I might document it there. But I’m not building a efoil. Just a murderous jetski type surfboard lol. Efoils don’t interest me.
Please show us
Seems lipolys are the solution to the fires on a cursory glance. Man, did i just say that?
Soon. The jet drive is out for delivery. lol
I wanna hear about that, I’ve been looking into it. Surfing in the river just seems epic to me
What size did you go for? MHZ?
Awesome build mate! Please tell us more! What type of jet drive are you using?
Thanks guys. I’m actually starting out with a couple of heavy duty RC jet boat drives and looking at running dual 80100. As MHZ is ridiculously overpriced.
As well the available boards for esurf are not any type of shapes that resonate with me or even look like they were designed for surfing lol.
I’m likely going to build out the electronics and propulsion system in a PVC tube or the likes and attach it to a Funboard until I get something working. Then going to be hand shaping a wooden pocket squash tail in the 5’9-6’3 range.
I’ll likely use the Vefoil remote. However I have been thinking about making a trigger throttle remote, with a wheel thumb for steering as I could make the Jets steerable.
For now alot of it is up in the air until I test out the jet drives
Pacificmeister has an a/c here
Huh? 10char
