This means cutting out the bottom of the scooter and using that new underside attachment as a stressed structural element.<\/li>\n<li>Waterproof.<\/li>\n<li>Minimize custom electronics. Easier on me, more idiot(me)proof. Plus, you can get a servo tester for 5 bucks now..<\/li>\n<li>Waterproof.<\/li>\n<li>Internal battery balancing. Little dedicated balancers are only a few square inches in area and cost 15 dollars. Well worth the extra cost, in my opinion.<\/li>\n<li>Waterproof.<\/li>\n<li>All main battery wiring will be heavy gauge, and there will be one charge port.<\/li>\n<li>Waterproof.<\/li>\n<li>No-through-bolt wheelmotor design.
