The Lift eFoil thread - info for the DIYer

Différent size available , name stand for inch2 as I undestand

How to transport your 2000Wh battery in a plane ? Here is the 500USD solution suggested by the LIFT Accessories page here: https://zargesusa.com/applications/liion-batteries/

Zarges Case

The rugged Zarges case provides compliance to IMDG, IATA, FAA and 49CFR requirements for safe storage and transportation of Lithium batteries. Zarges fire-resistant cases also carry UN HazMat Certification and protection against dust, moisture, extreme temperatures, corrosion, and cracks.

For more information, please visit ZargesUSA.com.

You can get those in Europe much cheaper than from lift. Now the big thing is how you can convince the airlines to allow you to fly with one…

Another way to present it is “Do we have to declare a Li-Ion battery stored inside a case approved by FAA and IATA… ?”

You’d have to get the ok from the CAA in the UK and then some other countries too depending on where you fly… But I’d buy one in a heartbeat if I knew I could fly with it.

Hi.

So, the consensus is that the Lift motor and the FR motor are the same?

I saw a picture of the internals of the Lift motor on this forum somewhere awhile back but I can’t find it now.

How many poles is the Lift/FR motor? I seam to remember it being 10 poles. Is that right?

And the 65150 is 8 poles?

Does anyone have pictures of the internals of either of these motors?

Thanks!

:call_me_hand::beers:

FR motor is 16 poles.
65140 has 6 poles.

Thx. I was way off! Do you have pics of the internals of either?

Are they calling it The 65140 now? I’ve seen a couple different names. I thought it was originally the 65150…I can’t keep it all straight. LoL

:call_me_hand:

More commonly known as 65161 or 65162.
Reachertech offers 2 different versions.
Maytech offers 2 different shaft versions
Flipsky offers 1 version.
Motor is also used on Pwrfoil and some other brands…

I thought it would be appropriate to ask in this thread since I could find info on this forum about the Lift esc motor connectors.

Would anyone know what type of connectors these are? The E1 and E2 appears to have different connectors.

No one has found them yet. I haven’t looked for them in ages, but mainly because I have found my 5.5mm bullets are not overheating.
Lift might be able to sell you spares if you ask nicely.

Good approach. I might try that.

They are probably custom made…
My guess is amphenol

Do we now a bit more about the Fr Motor, because somone already created a post asking if we now where the motors get produced. I also dont know it and does anyone know some details about the FR motor. Are any compatitors besids flipsky out there that are comparable to the FR motor?

Does anyone know what hinges Lift use?. The board I saw had really nice stiff hinges so the hatch lid would hold its own weight at any angle.

Top man! Thanks @Flightjunkie
They are a reasonable price to :call_me_hand:

I’m starting to buy parts again :tired_face:

Is that a picture of an old listing as I can only find them for $29?.

How do we count the number of poles and slots on the 651x1 that seems pretty messy compared to the FR crystal clear design ?

You can open one and count, or you can use an ESC that counts them (like the ARC200). I’ve done both.
Yes the 65161 is much messier than the FR motor but I guess you get what you pay for. I’m more surprised I haven’t been able to find the manufacturer of the FR motor.
But his boards might be available again through Chris in Canada soon…
