This is the best news ever. I am not a fan of 2 boards sandwiched together. Not least of which because they are very, very difficult to waterproof.

Hi all,
is there a tutorial how to assemble the components on PCB , I am very interested by this project.
The plan is to make a onewheel clone which have strong power. 16 S battery pack would be fine to achieve a good max speed with a 10 " tire .

First of all - Welcome to the Forums, I would suggest that you take the time to read through some of these threads. Mostly because you will likely find your answers and its usually faster than waiting for someone to answer them for you. Also you will gain a better reputation if you seldom ask questions that have already been answered (AKA typical forum etiquette).
That said, this thread has been pretty active and long running, here are the quick details.
- The Serious FOCer, is going to be a commercially available product - this is not âintended to be DIYâ therefore the initial run (if thereâs a diy option at all) will be an off the shelf product (100% Complete).
- It has been discussed and mentioned that some people would like the challenge of assembling their own SFOC which may happen but the likely hood is that this product will be provided as more of a kit (80% assembled) than a full DIY âprint and sourceâ project.
- The Cheap FOCer will be the DIY option which is the option that you can assemble
- Neither the SFOC or the CFOCv2 are available in any capacity and to the best of my knowledge none of the beta testers have them yet.
Assembling PCBâs and boards like this isnt difficult just time consuming, I would just go to Youtube and look up how to solder on a circuit board. There are also âmakerâ challenges that you can do (an LED Flasher) that you can buy for a few bucks that can help you test your skills in different package sizes.
Edited :: kinda had a rude inflection in my initial approach 
Edit 2:: you asked another question i didnt initially answer.

thanks for the answers,
I have yet assemble battery packs for an ebike and a esurf, and also made some projects with arduinos, drones, but I donât feel confident with the small components, I have see that some people use solder paste and hot air soldering station.
I will follow this thread to see when a product will be release

JLCPCBâs update
Looks like the prototype will have to wait until this coronavirus outbreak calms down. Yaâll take care over there in China. Get well soon!

- Production of SMT assembly and stencils has been resumed on February 12.
- Production of 4&6 layer and ENIG PCBs will temporarily be postponed until further notice.
One step closer. Need them 4 layer boards though

I am pretty handy with software. Let me know if there is anything I can help with(a website for example).
Oh also, I have a low current application and would be happy to test the old beta boards. May be able to help find buffs in the firmware n what not.

Welcome! Let one of the @moderators know if you run up against your post limit while you are working with @shaman and they can bump your account to avoid losing momentum.
in the meantime it would be great to learn more about you, if you get some time introduce yourself over here

Well, I broke my controller. Any chance I can get my hands on the low current prototype? Otherwise, Iâll be looking at a 36v vesc
