I for one hate soldering Even with helping hands, wires don’t stay together. There is always too much or too little solder. Even with ventilation, the flux and rosin smoke gives me a headache haha
Aligning enclosure and deck holes is also PIA.
On the other hand, I really enjoy the mechanical aspects. Like aligning pulleys, motor mounts etc etc
I wish I had a friend who enjoyed what I don’t like and vice versa. Would be perfect lol
Stuffing wires places. I have the habit of leaving wires a bit long for “servicing” and build changes. Really just ends up being annoying when I try to close the lid.
When you get new parts for a build but you can’t make anything because you dont have all of the parts so they just sit on your desk… and you just think abiut how fun it is going to be to actually ride it…
Batteries. I’m scared of batteries. Oh and that small bit from china you forgot to order. Oh and my 11 year old who routinely steals my tools for his scooters and rc cars.
And my wife finding out the reality of what things cost.
Something like that for me too. I buy everything online and mostly from China’s taobao, which will require me to consolidate shipping for different parts, sometimes parcels go missing… I’m still waiting for a large parcel that I bought on 11.11…
I take my time I don’t mind taking along time but I hate having to fix something repeatedly, that’s my biggest urk but sometimes it just has to be done till you find a solution.
