I was thinking about top mounting the trucks on a drop through deck.

I think there are only a handful of setups that actually support drop through anyway. Most people here will be top mounted for obvious reasons.

Hey guys,
I finally managed to get a production quote for the controller, pre-orders will have a discounted price of $99 for a limited time only, instead of $117.
Now available on https://eboardshop.net
Pre-orders will be shipped in about 24-26 days. In order to power the USB chargers and LED drivers, an external 5V buck converter is needed. They are generally cheap and can be bought for about $3-5.
Iām making a demo video, it should be up in a few days.

Does it need UART connections between vesc and proton ?
Yes, a UART cable will be provided.

Ordered one 
can you link any converter you could recommend?

Thanks. Looking forward to the video
If you are running a dual setup, can we just connect to the master and get full functionality?
@mackann Thank you for your support 
There are several step down converter available, I didnāt test one specifically but you generally should look for one that has input range similar to your battery voltage, outputs 5V, and offer around 2-3A of current. Here is an example https://www.ebay.com/itm/10V-50V-to-5-35V-DC-Buck-Module-Step-Down-Converter-synchronous-rectification/142322471378?hash=item21231491d2:g:CfUAAOSwTM5Y0lMG
@kylem21 Yes, you can just connect the master.

This is probably a long shot, but is there a way to make like a rubber plug/cover for the USB ports to slightly protect them from water and such?
That sorta things been around since the usb existed, search around and Iām sure youāll find them.
Less than 10 seconds of searching

Well yes I realize that, but one that is specific to this design is what I mean.
Haha, ok ok I get it. Iām being lazy. 
His design is just two USB ports. Nothing special about the integrals , nor would it costly make sense to have someone manufacture or make a 2 tab usb cover

I donāt know how to get that done, lol. Would you know how to get one of those made??
Needs Bluetooth and to be rechargeable
@uigiroux They are already made and available online, you can get a dozen for around $3-4 https://www.ebay.com/itm/10pcs-Black-PC-Laptop-USB-Plug-Cover-Stopper-Rubber-Soft-Silicon-Dust-Cap-H-P/142774376695?epid=2274495062&hash=item213e0418f7:g:YGoAAOSw3GtZxh1B Or 5 for about $1 from china. https://www.ebay.com/itm/5-Black-RUBBER-SILICONE-ANTI-DUST-USB-PLUG-COVER-STOPPER-for-Computer-Laptop-/151535506013?_trksid=p2349526.m4383.l4275.c10#viTabs_0
@Brdchris Not sure why it needs to be rechargeable 
It is powered directly when you turn on your board. Not sure why it needs Bluetooth either.
To add in to what @Wajdi is saying , this is not a wireless device. Itās a terminal
Edit , ah I see what you meant now, I agree, itās better off wireless and connected via a receiver.
@Wajdi, would it be impossible to make a version of this thatbuses an Arduino Nano like the firefly remote does ?
@Jc06505n I still donāt understand the purpose of your request, this controller has its own MCU, it does not need an external arduino.
