    Nope!

    No pre-orders here bud. I purchased most of the parts myself (UTBs, Wire harness, board connectors, HES, crimpers, wire connectors, etc) so when you order a board,... your paying me directly for your board. Chris is making ALL the boards in advance,..

    Since most of the cost is on my end,.. I can sit back and wait for someone to buy a board,.. then ship. Just a rough look,.. Id say from the time you purchase it would take a week or two, to get it in hand.

        Updated prices are at the bottom of post #1.

        So far I think the cost will be $150,... and if I can get a deal on solenoids,.. we are looking even better on those.

          As of today,.... the E-Mag UTB daughter board project is on hold.

          I have contracted out the work to another company and we are looking at brand new stand alone boards to replace the entire setup as it is.

          More to come,...

              The manufacturer contacted me yesterday with questions on last minute proto-type changes. They informed me that one specific change would not be possible due to the size constraints.

              The first round of boards will be a test product.

              The second round will be a complete solution. There is a reason for doing it this way,....

                  I've seen a pic of Jai and he's not much to look at, so getting a home run on the first date is likley

                  All jokes aside I can't wait to see the board...

                      The delay is the number of boards I am purchasing.

                      I went with 100 board over 1000.

                      It would cost me roughly 11,000 to make the boards cheap enough.

                      Doing the math out thats $37 per board (with some other machine and labor fees.

                      Then add in components,... drives the price up.

                      Then add in assembly fee,... drives the price up.

                      So I went with the best of the options. Have them made here in the USA and take longer and pay only for parts.

                      Boards will still be costly,... but they will have more features,... options,.. and they will be upgradable/expandable.

                        I will make an new video of the board when it comes along for testing..... should be very impressive from what I was going to be purchasing.

                            Long story short:

                            I paid $3,000 for UTBs that were supposed to control the daughter boards Chris was contracted to make.

                            He failed to make the boards. I have a bunch of UTBs that have no homes.

                            I have contracted the work to a board manufacturer...... the boards will be made now,.. I have a CONTRACT to have them made. They dont get paid until they deliver the boards.
