I find it pretty comfortable. But being able to slide a remote would be undeniable cool. But I still feel like they are bringing a cool new product to the table that is worth the price tag.
Is it for everyone? Of course not… but on all these awesome builds people are coming out with, the extra expense of this top tier remote is worth it and will be noticed.
I mean hell, this is their round 1?!?
Let’s support them and see what else they can do!

You hit the nail on the head here. If this is what they can do aesthetic wise, self funded and without thousands of hours of testing from hundreds of people, imagine what these guys will come up with next.
Best looking production boards on the market in my personal opinion.

Sick looking board, anyone used it before?

Im hoping the resistors will slow the transfer of the discharge/charging for inter cell balancing. TBF these 50W 1Ohm resistors only cost £1.30ea so its not a bad price for extra protection.
But it’s not protecting anything… a BMS is designed to do this from the start… all you’re doing is making the BMS less efficient and eating up space on your board…

Sorry, I should have actually gave you a reason why im doing it. Its because im merging lipo packs together without actually opening them up. so to merge 2 6s batteries together into a 6s2p you need to merge the balance connectors together. but if they are even slightly out of balance between the two cells being merged, then one cell will try to charge the other, which would definitely push more amps than the battery can take for charging.
Then you need to put those resistors between the cells being linked in parallel on the two packs, not to the BMS.
Since you’re using LiPos, charging the packs with the same balance charger will be sufficient when going to connect them in parallel. Just check the cell voltages with a meter and make sure they are +/- 0.05V and you shouldn’t have any issues

Thanks for the heads up. So your saying I should wire it like this then?
So the bms isnt affected by the resistor, but would affect inter cell balancing. (The bms I have is struggling to keep them all at the same voltage as the varience is +/- 0.1v
Well that isn’t going to do anything with the resistor… current is going to flow the path of least resistance…
I personally wouldn’t use the resistor at all:
But if you feel you must use the resistors, dedicate one pack to be your “Master” where it has direct wiring to the BMS and then branch all “Slave” packs off of it in parallel using the resistors…
