Sometimes, usually in cheaper ESCs, the insulation pad between the heatsink and the mosfets can have tiny holes which allows the two to short circuit. Idk, just open it and check it out. However, this is more common for cheap ESCs, but castle should have done inspections to make sure that...

I bet it's not that bright in person. The company can easily mimic a bright flashlight by adjusting the camera's white balance and using lens flares in their editing process. They are stating around 200 lumens and 3 hours of battery life. A $3 flashlight on eBay is already 1200 lumens (I bet...

I think I read somewhere that it can take 30,000 PSI. Not sure what type of force that is, but it should be able to hold a person.

60 amps is probably too low for your electric longboard. Try 120a to 150a. Some here have tried 90a, but it doesn't work too well. Also, I think the YEP ESC is for helicopters. You need ones for cars if you would like a brake.

If you would like a cheap set up to make your mounts, instead of welding, you can braze them. All you need is a $5 bernzomatic brazing rod from Home Depot and a propane torch $10-15.

Another awesome board beto. Can you post a link of where you buy ABEC clones? I can't seem to find them.

When will full production or beta testing be available? Is this going to be on a crowd funding site?

Essentially, glorified adult Heelys lol. I actually want a pair of mens Heelys but I would probably get weird looks.

Instead of fiberglass, it might be easier to just make a simple vacuum former. There's less finishing needed and all you really need is a piece of MDF and a heater. Also, nice pineapple.

I think the word you are looking for is "dielectric". I think from my high school course we used this formula:

Whatever you buy, I would avoid Seemecnc. I bought two of their printers and they both really suck. It took three months to send out the kits and when I got them there were no instructions. Plenty of people, including me, contacted them and they replied that they were working hard on making the...

Sweet board Beto. A few quetions: how did you make it so slim? I don't know if it's the camera angle or something but that case looks really thin. The ESC alone is 40mm tall (1.5in). I see that you removed the fan. Did that affect the performance of the ESC? Also, I have the 150a HK ESC, but...

I wonder why they didn't do well on Kickstarter. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/225649925/altered-v3-ds-worlds-first-dual-sport-electric-ska/?ref=kicktraq $575 a board is pretty cheap compared to Boosted's $2000.

Although I read your explanation on the theory of why extra capacitors would be helpful, why not a single high voltage capacitor with a large amount of capacitance? Also, have you done this to your own board? Did you notice any realistic difference? I thought that the manufacturer should know...

That would be sweet. Unfortunately I don't know how to program nor electrical engineer things but best of luck to you. Maybe integrate it into a remote because I don't feel like carrying an extra gadget to eboard.
