Perfect, and absolutely necessary feature. The pcb inside all looks to be ported so guessing that means everything is plug and play. Meaning you could switch between the two styles if you wanted?

Yes. This PCB revision isn’t perfect; with RA headers directly mounted on PCB it only works with 2/4 of the shell designs, otherwise you have to bottom-mount them, so we ended up using small pigtail extensions for this first beta batch for anyone who wants to play with multiple designs.
Next hardware revision will reduce the overall PCB size/shape so this problem goes away.

I guess we’re due to make an official thread here shortly, but Renee just gave a peek at some other new features; on-remote fault alerts & the secondary display screen with motor/esc temp & wh/mile.
@fessyfoo You had some questions related to quickly being able to check battery voltage, etc during a ride; the design intent was to bring any ride-relevant information directly to your remote so that your phone can stay put away during your ride. FreeSK8 Mobile has always been intended as a post/pre-ride application, as we’re taking the integrated approach with Robogotchi & OSRR hardware.

I wanted to polish them to a nice glossy finish but I gave up.

hand polishing those tiny stuff isn’t as fun as I thought it would be
They will stay frosty

You might have actually found a use for all those tiny extra polishing wheels that come with Dremels and their knockoffs.
This plus polishing compound would take no time.

Lazy way: masking tape tape and gloss clear coat.
(Edit - this might look a bit better but still not the same as polishing them)

Oh god. I’m working through my second package of those. I think the pic is from what I ordered on Amazon.
The ones that have the built in spindle are much better. These loosen up and spin.
Mother’s polish is the product you want for compound.
I’ve done hangers, 4 gear drives, a set of bergs, and surfnacho wheels.

It’s an old Rayne Vandal V1 that had been collecting dust which I found priced down. No plans to electrify yet but it’ll be a nice analog for the moment
I dig the frosted pink.
