What’s your problem?

Clonkex · February 24, 2018, 1:45am

It only needs one flag to hide a post. Yeah it’s dumb.

ATLesk8 · February 24, 2018, 1:47am

I just wish it showed who flagged it so they could be held accountable publically

KeivanM · February 24, 2018, 3:57am

when do you think they will be for sale?

bimmer · February 24, 2018, 2:55pm

I’m sorry it’s taking so long. I just want to be sure everything will go as smooth as possible once people have given me their money. I am in the final phase of making these. I have all parts so far. There is a minor discrepancy with the case and lid. I had the heat sinks made according to the old case design but Stewie made the Cover Pcb’s according to the new one. I’ll have to modify the holes to accommodate this. As for assembly we should be able to start in a week.

This hobby is a waiting game in general. As an outsider it seems you are making very quick progress! I think you stand a chance of going from just an idea, to delivery quicker than some suppliers can deliver so called in stock items…

bimmer · February 24, 2018, 7:21pm

Thanks for the positive feedback. I think its easier since for me things like price are secondary… like using automotive fets instead of waiting on stock for the regular ones

michaelcpg · February 25, 2018, 11:56pm

What’s the difference automotive fets and the ones that other vendors would be using? Just better reliability I’m guessing?

Aw, you changed your profile picture. Tony Stark was the perfect way to imagine you.

b264 · February 27, 2018, 9:06am

It’s not a hobby if you sold your cars

pixelsilva · February 27, 2018, 10:28am

…more like Elon Musk watching his Falcon Heavy boosters coming back to Earth…

I want some of the goodness.

michaelcpg · March 6, 2018, 1:05am

Any updates available at this stage @bimmer?

b264 · March 6, 2018, 1:15am

Last I heard, beta testing and quality control testing is in-progress. Testing these on real skateboards

bimmer · March 6, 2018, 5:10am

I should ship the first 10 this weekend and then we wait and see how people like them. I got them back from being made and need to place wires and troubleshoot each one individually. I got one back that will start but shows undervoltage error. It’s a matter of checking all pins and all solder joints and takes forever.

Clonkex · March 6, 2018, 5:22am

I don’t envy you.
