I guess it can’t be a focbox any way cos the pin layout is different, I guess it must be that one that Tb started a few years back. I’ll try find the thread

@Mich21050 I agree with @pat.speed, for what we can see it look more like a vesc6 derivative, because of the 8pin connector that wasn’t on the 4.12

@torqueboards thanks for posting those pics. I was a little grumpy and now I’m very excited. Can’t wait to get my kit. Those 110mm wheels look super juicy. It’s all going to be awesome on my Moonshine deck.

Now I’m only wondering if I shouldn’t have ordered two kits since the discount is going away. :wink: Didn’t know how awesome they were going to be (or not be) but keep up the great work. I’m definitely excited to be part of the cutting edge of this developement.

@Lunasi Good review. I enjoyed the video very much also. If ya need a contact in DC give me a shout.

Yesterday I made a speculative enquiry as to ‘where we are with production and shipping’ of the DD units (I ordered on pre-order release day last year). Was really just a general question as I’m a patient soul but… Got a reply straightaway that the units are in-house and should ship within the fortnight.

Anticipation level = Fever Pitch :slight_smile:

Well that’s interesting. I ordered on the day of release (i think) so hopefully I’m part of this batch. Maybe they do USA first though, as seems to be always the case, and i have to wait till the UK gets dealt with. Either way I’m excited, plus these were supposed to be a birthday present from the missus, and that’s on Friday :birthday::balloon::joy:

Also ordered day one… I think even hour one :smile:

Cant wait!
