    I love the smell of burning esc's in the morning..

    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...

    Skate Ray Headlights on Kickstarter - easy lighting solution

    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...

    Circular clamp motor mount

    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.

    Hobbyking YEP esc

    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.

    Circular clamp motor mount

    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.

    Gargoyle new build

    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?

    Motorised shoes released - spnKiX

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

    Speed Bomber

    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.

    Capasitor Info. how to stop the Ripple

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

    How to learn Solidworks?/3D printer recommendations?

    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...

    ADRIANA´S BOARD The Butterfly...

    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...

    Bionic Wheels, EXskate, Altered M6 Review

    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.

    Capasitor Info. how to stop the Ripple

    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...

    A skateboard kind of CycleAnalyst (Brainstorm)

    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.

    2x50mm 4.4KW ALIEN 'LONG RANGE' 7s 16,000mah BMS

    I think that will be a pretty ambitious build, but not impossible. I don't know the cops in your area, but usually they don't care or if they do stop you, they'll usually just give you a warning (in the States at least). You'll be surprised, but the dual 50mm should be able to pull your weight...

    GalWiii - software/hardware for controlling e-boards

    Looks good! Any idea on the cost of one of these? I would like to see this being a $35-$50 product. For the LCD, you can put the percentage of battery life left and the calculated mileage that the board can go with the remaining energy. Maybe you can have a basic version and an advanced...

    Boat ESC - success Only works for me though.

    Does anyone notice a roughly half-second delay between pressing the trigger and the motor moving? I bought the Birdie ESC 125a, and it seems to have a slight delay which is pretty annoying. When I take the trigger off, it keeps on spinning for another half-second. Also since it is a Birdie, it...

    Boat ESC - success Only works for me though.

    Darn, i didn't see this post until now, and I bought that exact 100a Birdie ESC. I thought it would work because the description (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__19438__Birdie_100A_Brushless_Boat_ESC_w_5A_BEC.html) says that it has several settings for brake. Oh well, whatever. Once...

    Wireless Wii Nunchuck *TESTERS WANTED

    Any idea when the "official" wii receiver will be rolling out? I know you just started, but i'm really impatient lol :mrgreen: How much do you think it would cost (whole thing with nunchuck)? SeeedStudio is great for cheap printed PCBs (100 minimum order) and you can pay them to assemble the...
