New waterproof Alloy V+ESC Box

Yes you have to use the 75/300 without original heat sink, we have the similar shape inside the box as Trampa with same mounting screws. It is mounted same way as in trampa heatsink with thermal pads in between to dissipate the heat. And yes it works with the "rigid wires of FR as well.
However we recommend smaller VESC like VESC 6 as this power is well enough for efoiling, even if you use Maytech or Reacher Motor…unless you weigh more than 110kg then we recommend the high power ones;-)

@ELEVATE.rocks Do you continue selling this box? Link to a web page where it can be bought?

It seems Foildrive picked up your idea with the alloy box on top of the mast and further put the batteries in it too! Actually this system is just perfect…
Did you further developed it too?

Been a while since we did this alloy mast box in 2019 already :sweat_smile: Makes us kind of proud that the idea has been picked up by foil drive… We don’t do it anymore but we forwarded the idea to others and we`re shure they will bring similar foil assist system in 2024 for under 3000$.
That is what we always wanted: a light, affordable and easy mount foil assist drive for every foiler. we believe this will increase the sports attention and growth for the next few years :wink: So wait whats gonna come in 2024 regarding electric-foils

An homonym in Sydney, Australia ? https://elevatefoils.com

Nah, instead Foil Drive took the idea and has tried to patent it as their own work to block other manufacturers…

How is this attempt at the moment ? Elevate.rocks only accomodated the ESC in 2019. FoilDrive has succeeded in pushing the concept even further accomodating the battery in the box as well. Battery plus ESC above the mast was inconceivable four years ago, not to mention 14s1p. FoilDrive deserves some credit for that.
Do we know which ESC is used in the FoilDrive V2 ?

Well I think after Elevate did the box below board and above mast several others took this idea and based on that extended the box and accomodated batteries as well… If you check current US patents then you will recognize Foil drive has a serious problem as another efoil brand already achieved a patent a while ago with a waterproof battery box just above the mast and below the board :face_with_hand_over_mouth:
So lets see how Foildrive guys think they can get a new patent on already patented stuff :face_with_peeking_eye:

Actually the entire idea was discussed here prior to foil drive. I’ll give them credit that they designed a great product, but none of the idea is originally theirs. The original idea for a foil assist wasnt even theirs, it existed on endless sphere way back in 2017 at the same time lift created the original efoil. Their original temp patent was also only applied for 4 months after a complete example of an under board assist was already on this forum. I’m sure someone is going to challenge the patent and hopefully it won’t be awarded…
