This is a straightforward process you will only need to do once, please see the above video! If you are an existing Foil Drive Rider (You own a MAX or Slim System) The Armstrong Integrated Mast is compatible with V2 Foil Drive Motors, both Standard and High Power. If you already own a V2 Motor (With removable cable), simply remove the puck and follow the below installation information&#xA0; First time installing a Foil Drive? There&apos;s some important steps both with installation of the motor, and the rest of the system.&#xA0; Please read the full system manual for installation instructions and system cleaning, maintenance and safety! The below instructions are specific to your Integrated Carbon Mast only.&#xA0; Additional Armstrong Installation Tips Armstrong Masts boards are beautifully constructed with Carbon Fibre tracks and board layup, this can cause intermittent connectivity between your motor and your controller. More and more Armstrong Boards are becoming Foil Drive compatible, we do recommend checking out the below article to improve connectivity! What does intermittent connectivity mean? If you are engaging the controller, and the motor is not responding, or keeps cutting out, it is likely you&apos;ll need to check out the below information! 1. Ensure your tracks are filled with the supplied Mast Track Foam Inserts, Infront, in between and behind your T Nuts, the less water in the tracks, the better! 2. Refine your technique, controller placement for take-off can help 3.&#xA0;Consider the external antenna&#xA0; <a href="http://Foil%20Drive%20External%20Antenna%20Patch" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Read: Foil Drive External Antenna Patch</a> <a href="https://youtu.be/04LnYsvOnlc" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Watch: Controller Connectivity</a> What do you need?
