Hi All, @pacificmeister

Thank you everyone for their inputs and articles and information I have been learning on this site. It has been a trying journey but a great hobby for me.

You’re probably wondering why I spray painted my watertight box white, because it gets really sunny and hot. BTW, the salt is terrible for 3D print PETG prints, even with epoxy.

I would like to share my results after my visit to the Seattle and Hood river.  
Here is the video of my latest build. I am also working on a jetdrive version which I will post in the jetdrive topic.

Thanks. I am using the Alien Power Sytems: [https://alienpowersystem.com/product-category/radio-transmitters/](https://alienpowersystem.com/product-category/radio-transmitters/)

PRO: I really like the safety feature, as soon as the remote is submerged and loses radio signal, the ESC disables the motor.

CONS: The quality could be better.

Hi @MauiMan,

is [this your](https://alienpowersystem.com/shop/radio-transmitters/alien-power-system-2-4ghz-electric-skateboard-remote-control/) remote?

If yes, may I ask how you configured it to lose signal if its submerged?

Best,  
Umut

Oh yes, you will lose signal if you submerge it.
