Noted. Will do. I would also enjoy bringing up the shine a bit.
very nice sharp features!
i got very bad experience with epoxy coating - always had air bubbles somehow that i didnt manage to kill with the youtube epoxy coating tricks. my stuff definitely looked a lot better out of the box with wet 600grit+ sanding
Air bubbles are unavoidable when adding additional coats of epoxy. You can get rid of them by color sanding it, and then adding a layer of clear coat if you want to make it to look professional.
Very nice. U beat me to the vacuum infusion.
Motors are on their way and I’ll send you the tracking today.
For the lid maybe have a smoother edge as the 90degree edge is a weak spot I think.
In the future, I intend to make a better, curved edge, maybe with some clay or something. Excited for the motors! The last item I am waiting for!!!
Ok. No progress today. I streaked myself on the asphalt today. Temporarily unable to move well. Gonna play it easy for now. Updates to come when I decide what power supply I am going to buy. Probably the 10S 5Ah E-bike one from Supower. May need a different connector, though. I like theirs, but at the same time, it’s too big for my taste.
awh, been there recently, crash at 40kph because of a large patch of suprise gravel 
its a good first try but you should be more patient and take a step back more often. the mounting holes look very random right now and you switched the carbon diagonal texture pattern board->enclosure which makes the enclosure much more obvious & visible.
for rounded edges, there are router bits! check this out to learn something about your router: http://www.popularmechanics.com/home/tools/reviews/g1135/10-router-bits-every-diyer-should-own/
keep it up 
Ah, I see that now. Next time I’ll definitely make sure it goes in the same direction. I have very little router experience, so I need some practice 
Thanks!
Updates! So I went ahead and epoxied the deck. I also epoxied the enclosure. Then I epoxied it again, and again. I also have gone ahead and spray painted the deck orange. I had a couple issues with streaks in the epoxy on the enclosure. Didn’t have the issue on the deck interestingly.

Nice dude! Looks a lot better with the epoxy. Not sure what caused those streaks tho.
Yeah, but a lot better all in all
I’ve gone ahead and spray painted the deck orange, and put on the grip tape. I also added a photo with the bindings so you can get an idea of what it may look like.

Looking sick bro!
Very nice ! How is the stiffness with the 3 sheet of CF ? Do you think you could have get away with 2 (1uni + 1twil) or router deeper in the wood ?
if you route deeper you will want more reinforcement. It’s a very stiff board in general, so with it, the board doesn’t feel very different.
The weight of the CF isn’t really a factor, just the price (and thickness?).
Progress! Ok, so I got to work on the battery, and it looks really good! It’s a 10S3P battery, with a BMS. It’s an 18650 pack which I spot welded together. Feel free to ask any questions, I soldered the BMS wires to the pack and it looks like it’s fairly good.

UGH FML. The enclosure is a little small, probably off by about 1-2cm. I can make it work, MAYBE, if not, may have to go a single motor 6355 motor. The thing which is causing me issues is the wiring, takes up too much space… Not to mention I need to fit a BMS in the battery still, and it hasn’t been heatshrunk.

Bummer! It looks so close 
What did you use to spot weld your pack? Off the shelf or DIY spot welder?
