On the 75s I never got a fault and I have that set to 150A (it’s the 170kv version). But I guess anything smaller really is too small

Someone hurry up and get in photoshop and unredact this already we’re tired of waiting 
I think the twist will be that there are no bushings at all. M. Tuck Shyamalan twist.

Antisink Plate
@Titoxd1000 graciously gifted me an antisink plate to cover the ugly taped bushing hole in the rear
While I had the truck off, I made the hole… less shoddy. Using a Dremel like a router with a single-flute milling bit.
Then, in favorite technique for covering up bad workmanship, I went to town with a black sharpie.
Mint
My old bolts bolts aren’t long enough anymore, replacements are on order, and should arrive in a few days.
Sticker
Replaced the tape covering the LACROIX on the deck with an appropriate sticker
Tryhard USB
I’ve always wanted vesc USB access without taking off the enclosure, but never got around to doing it. Today’s the day.
The biggest problem is clearance between the D100 and the bottom of the deck. It’s so tight that even most right-angle USB cables would be too bulky.
I bought this ribbon USB cable for it’s super low profile micro USB connector
However, it clashes with the CAN connector for the MEGAN.
(additionally, it’s hard (impossible) to mount the USB-A to the outside of the enclosure)
So this is in the realm of making my own cable.
I bought some inexpensive panel mount USB C connectors off Aliexpress
soldered on 26awg wire to the backside of the micro USB, very carefully cut down the micro USB PCB with a Dremel, and covered in hotglue.
Pretty proud of the finished result
Size comparison vs a typical microUSB cable
Drilled some holes in the enclosure, and I’ve got a USB port 
3D printed a TPU cover to keep dirt out
So much work for such a little unassuming USB port

I’m thinking of doing a USB extension like that for my build. Any links for the one you got?
Edit: Nvm, found it.

I have External USB’s on most of my Lacroix Boards. External USB’s make it so easy to connect the VESC to a computer for tuning. I just use a regular (cheap) USB Cable and sandwich it between the foam gasket and the enclosure. Never had an issue with water or anything else.

I just ran an extension cable out witht he phase wires.
@tuckjohn thoughts on daisy chain this to another extender? There’re multiple version of this.
That’d work, definitely! Used something similar on a drone like a decade ago.
I started looking something like that for nothing fancy, but all the ones I could find would clash with the vesc and/or the enclosure (because of how tight it is in Nothing Fancy)

I’m gonna try to see if I can make these works on mine. My new build is also gonna be tight.

@tuckjohn Update. Found something better.
Panel mount with a threaded cap.
Needed more length so I got a 90 degree cable that works perfectly, does not interfere with the ports, also pretty low profile.

It works. I have one in my flux. Saves so much time from having to open the enclosure

Had to test mulitple cables. Some of them only for power and does not transfer data. The symbols are hit or miss if you buy cheap stuff, I’ve tried some cables that has a symbol that it’s good for data but doesn’t work.
