Guys, to save you some time and order this in advance. Making holes in carbon fiber is much easier with a step drill. For the power button for example, if you need to make a 16mm hole, you’ll have a hard time doing it with a 16mm bit. Better to use something like this.

Once your holes are done, make sure you blow out all the CF dust as it’s conductive and might short something in the electronics.

Also, once the hole is made, you’ll have carbon splints around the holes. Simply take a small file and file the inside and outside of the hole gently. All the splinters will come off.

Cheers, A

A respirator might be a good thing to add to the shopping list when machining carbon fibre, that stuff is really bad for your lungs

And long sleeves/pants/gloves. It’s itchy at best, splinters at worst.

La Croix are definitely placed on the leaderboard, can’t wait to mar mine :innocent:

I like the board but I have 2 questions about the complete board

Question 1 it says it uses 60 cells but doesn’t say in what configuration is it a 12s5p or a 10s6p?

Question 2 it shows 3 deck options the stiffest being the 200+ option, what about heavier people in the 250-300lb area would the board handle a heavy rider like that or is that too much.

279

:open_mouth: your boards look amazing…

Please DM me for details, but to answer your questions, we use Samsung 30Q’s in 10S6P configuration.

For the board, if addtional stiffness is required for a heavier rider, we could do a custom deck.

I share your dream. I am bummed that I didn’t jump on this in time but had all my additional funds tied up in another build. Looking again at the LaCroix, I would actually just go and purchase the complete board, and I should have done this, rather than trying to build my own. Hindsight - such a wonderful thing…
