I've seen a couple of TTC's that were reported to be "out of alignment", but I haven't seen that in recent batches, and the few that came back were minor enough that we use them on our boards.

I saw a version of the mold for this board last summer at the Airflow shop in Zurich - my guess is that it's being built in a press rather than vacuum bagged, so the construction should be stronger. Chris Hart is a very clever designer, and the shape of this board looks great. It's really nice to se...

Originally, Bluetooth was defined with just a 10 meter range, but a newer specification has defined Bluetooth Class 1 devices with 100 meter range, which is a significant improvement. However, the radios still require line-of-sight connection, and the 2.4GHz signals don't deal well with any obstruct...

Of course, it would be great to have multiple divisions which make things more even within each group, but until the sport grows a lot larger, that is probably not practical.
