Dude, I was just stating a fact that he promised pictures by the weekend. Idk where you got the hostage situation from. Gotta read the room man
Ok sure…
But come on,
That sounds like it should end in ‘or else’
Was funny in my head, not trying to make a commentary.
If ya don’t recall I wanted pictures too, not defending him ya egg nog

I believe he wants to be contacted by email presently. Can someone post that email address? Was it hello@rideneo.com?

This is my assumption, but there are more questions than answers at present. So I won’t know until receipt.
Based on other communication I’ve had with this him (making it one persona for the sake of simplicity) , I would venture that he meant that. I don’t get the gut feeling that he’s a current or future scammer, FWIW.
Yeah, that might have been too cryptic.

so looking at the new case design apart from the FET heat transfer pad issue all of the major gripes I had with the design are still there 
- Looks like the stand-offs are still in play
- no way of plugging cables into the ports without removing the lid
- no way of securing the unit to mounting plate without using the main screws which means any time you want to plug something in the whole mounting plate needs to be removed from the skateboard because there is no way of opening the case from the top
- height looks the same (although I could easily be wrong on this one as it’s hard to see from the render)
- no update on the PPM cable, so that could also be an issue (or not, will have to wait and see as it’s impossible to know without seeing the other piece of the enclosure and/or the pcb)
and the production run was started before feedback on the test units, which leads me to wonder if there was any real desire to get feedback from that first batch of “test” units.
would also have been nice to see an actual photo rather than a render

my issue with the updated case are the power/phase wire holes, by the look of it, wires will need to be desoldered/soldered to take the PCB out of the case

thats a really good point @Scepterr
although how often you would want to remove them? i did love the focbox design as you could just lift out the pcb if a unit was faulty and drop in another one without needing to remove the focbox from the mounting plate. I have lost count of how many times i did that repairing raptor 2s

it’s not often, but it becomes a mandatory step if you need/want to. personally not issue for me, but I don’t know how many people are comfortable desoldering/soldering pwr/phase leads, it opens a whole new world of possible issues
we also haven’t seen the PCB installed yet, which will be covered in silicone making this even more problematic

Yeah I’ve never needed to remove a phase lead from and Vesc I owned. If I needed them longer I just extended the end after the bullet connector. It is a weird design choice, but it does allow for circular grommets that keep debris out better (for those people worried about it). I guess if it died like in your case then it would be helpful but I’ve never blown a vesc either so non issue for myself.
I agree that some of the gripes with connectors are annoying but I still question why that’s a problem, like it would be nice if you didn’t have to open the case, on one hand. But on the other, I almost never have to reconfigure anything inside my board once it’s built, and in addition, having them inside the case actually is a benefit because it protects them from bending fatigue of other components pressed against them. I see no issue with bending the ppm standoff, I’ve done it before in my builds because I liked the cables to run in a different direction.
I’m not trying to defend their decisions without reason, and they COULD have fixed some of these issues but I also would be fine owning one of them as they are right now and most likely wouldn’t have any mechanical design issues at all.

but you can’t even inspect the PCB if you wanted to without removing some leads

i guess it comes down to how many boards you get on your work bench in a month 
if its just one or two of your own boards you are maintaining then its not too much of an issue, when you are repairing boards regularly for customers it’s a whole different level of pain. And worse still if its at a race event

Oh like the underside?
That’s true I didn’t think about that
I just looked at the pictures on his Insta, and the old design had the wire channels for the phase wires, which I seem to recall people complaining about water ingress or something along those lines. What do people actually want lmao

I’m fine with the phase lead holes, the power lead should’ve remained the same and just had a rectangle grommet the power leads went through like the trampa vesc

usually the moon on a stick, and once they get it they will complain about the length of the stick

We could always cut a slot with a dremel to remove the wires without desoldering, well you would have to desolder the first time to be able to cut the slot but after that you were good
Maybe 3d a cover that is able to put on an off to close the gap
