After I drill holes, I put in M4x10mm thread inserts, placed them nice and snug but not to tight and flush to the board
I taped the side of the deck to paint the topside, when dried I will put a coat of epoxy for the Hydra Logo. Really don’t care about making the whole thing smooth, just the center where the red paint will be exposed.
Trying to figure out which logo print to use.
I chose to use this black and white to save on ink but it will look like one of the top two.
I used a spray adhesive to contact the back of the grip tape where I will cut out the hydra logo
Cutting this logo took some time so in between I layer some table top epoxy on deck top to dry and cure while I continued to cut out logo
After it cures I layed the outer part of the grip tape
Then I put in the center, and now it’s ready to transfer parts from old setup to new Hydra Deck
Marking to drill holes for spring tension pins
Put another coat of epoxy on basket enclosure
You can see where I epoxyed the old holes and where the resent holes are.
Going to drill holes for charge ports
Holes for kill switch
Assembled the parts to see what it will look like. Still need to connect wires, voltage display and battery and to reloctite mechanical parts, going to take a break.
I wanted to use this battery, because of the ESC I’m using it won’t work properly. So now I have to use an 8s set up I have 8 2s lipo batteries. They will be perfect.
Making a cut out for voltage display.
Replacing and blue loctite any missing grub screws
Desided to run the battery. It won’t allocate when I first turn it on, had to keep flipping the switch to make it work. It’s because the battery is a 10s and the ESC require 3s to 8s. I have a set of lipos I can use.
How’s the build going 
did you figure out the esc/controller issues?
