    New! Omen e-Sugar. Flat Power cables on top (a la Boosted)

    So OKP's Vanguard build with cables on top got me thinking of doing the same on my GF's Vanguard 41 (flex 1 - it's mine she's permanently borrowed). BUT i really don't want to mess it up. SO, i got the Omen Sugar deck i wanted to build for guests to ride with us, and i like kick tails for...

    Any tips on Vedder Anti-Spark switch?

    Surprisingly i don't see any build threads?! I was looking at the PCB layout on github and the BOM. This looks totally doable even for me. Cost for the materials is minor. OSHPark shows $10 for three. Thinking i might tackle this. Did some searches and not seeing any build threads or...

    Marbel Board! (FINALLY!)

    So... for those who have followed the drama on FB... Marbel like almost all the other Kickstarter projects has had NUMEROUS delays. I was not a KS backer, but an early'ish pre-order. I'm not a blind Marbel fanboy. Their communication (lack of) has been absolutely horrific. Every possible way...

    Nose and Tail "bumpers" with 120 lumen LED lights! (concept)

    Just a little project i had in my head and wanted to share. Here's the idea - a simple flat protector for the nose and tail that incorporates a super small but bright LED. I saw the Blitzu "Cyclops" bike lights on Amazon and grabbed the red taillight. I was thinking a very simple wood or...

    How-To: Anti-Spark XT-90 Loop Key

    It's not a marvel of engineering. It doesn't light-up blue. It's not as nice as the push-button anti-spark. It's also not $60. This might be a bit remedial for some of you (you know who you are), but i wanted to show how i built one in case someone else wants to make their own. You can do it...

    Quick/easy and (almost) free hotwire cutter for foam!

    There are quite a few hot wire kits and how-to's out there... It's not rocket science - some simple nichrome wire and set the voltage/amps for temperature you want. I was going to fab up a nice sturdy spreader to keep the wire tensioned, but figured a quick cut or two on the foam to get it to...

    VESC 12s errors - ideas?

    So finally had some time to do some more testing. I took one of the new VESC's from Jamesonotc and swapped it on my GF's board (200kv N6354 motor) w/ 2 6s in series for 12s. Motor configuration - no problem. Some fiddly throttle adjustments w/ my Badwolf v2 BT2B, but got it working. I am...

    New/Re-build. Drop Deck Omen e-Chief (Dual VESC/R-Spec 63mm)

    It has begun. My board being stolen is an "opportunity" to build it's replacement with the minor/major improvements i wanted anyway... Components: Deck - Omen Chief. Credit to rs4race who got it built originally. I called and spoke with the folks at Omen and they had a double thick deck i...

    How-To: GT2B --> Badwolf v2

    Credit to Badwolf and others who have obviously developed and done this before. Besides Badwolf's directions on thingverse, and some detail from others here on how they did theirs - there wasn't anything consolidated in one spot. I'm a visual person and since couldn't find a step-by-step...

    E-Board stolen from car at work. :(

    Well crap. Long day ended especially crappy. My board was in my old subaru tucked behind the seats... Not sure how they got in, either through the 1/4" cracked window (coat hanger?) or slim jim. No busted windows. Even took my waterbottle and santacruz hat. So LAME. So if you see someone...

    New Build(s) and nighttime test ride!

    Wow - so stoked! Just got back from a quick'ish 25-30 min nighttime test ride on the latest setup. So it's been a rocky and somewhat tumultuous journey so far... Much much love to the ES and everyone here who has helped me figure this stuff out. i've had a couple different setups so far...

    VESC throttle issue

    Ok, i've looked and searched to see if someone else has experienced this. I followed Vedder's tutorial step-by-step. While i did have and issue building the newest firmware and connecting the programmer... I successfully built/launched the BLDC tool in Ubuntu. Got the VESC connected, but...

    Until VESC is available - your ESC of choice?

    Hey all! I've been lurking for a while and having trouble deciding on an ESC. Would love to get VESC, but seems like it may be a while? My SMD soldering skills suck or i'd build my own. Between the ESC and programmer - just a bit out of my skillset. Target is 8s, but may want to setup 6s...
