make sure to add some extra support to the power input
it would be nice to add a charge indicator as well...
interconnected with the ankle lights
These boards blink the LEDS while charging. Wiring to the LEDs might have to me changed for this to happen though, but right now I am trying to dim and blink the LEDS from the main board without other modifications. I'll definitely be adding epoxy over/around the port before installing any of these. I debated covering the entire board like David's in epoxy, but I am pretty sure that was done for other reasons than strength. I prefer leaving the contacts available for soldering ect.
i wonder why they didnt cover the charge port with epoxy as well...
so are you doing repairs to other v3 owners or are you just selling the boards?

My first thought would be for water resistance, but then I doubt that insole battery isn't going to fair to well if the shoes get wet.

I've been busy with work and stuff of late so I haven't had anywhere interesting to wear mine (don't want people pestering me about them while I'm buying groceries or something) but I haven't noticed that issue yet, and often wear the V3's with 'regular fit' jeans - not really baggy, but not skinny jeans either. I do have skinny jeans but I need to get thinner by one size to wear them again
Maybe I've worn mine less than others here. Even though I've got 3 pair now I don't want to wear them to work as I often have to go to the factory floor to fix issues and they spill oil and all sorts of things there. The V3's are just too good to wear to work.The jeans with elastic ankle sounds like an interesting idea. Will have to keep an eye out for them next time I have time to wander around a big mall.

Hello, these are my QC pics. shud i go with it? the soles look quite yellow in some pics and fine in others. do y'all think its cuz of the lighting? thanks
These look pretty good. The soles are yellowish in most cases, so no, I don't think it is the lighting.
I believe that the V3's are made exactly like the real MAG's. Check out this XRay of the real MAG's:
Also, here are some real MAG's taken apart when they were figuring out how to do the power laces:
Interesting, definitely looks like the inverter is in the strap. Was curious because the company making these boards for me said that if they were to make an inverter board that could power them 100% brightness it would be 10mm at the highest point. These V3 boards are like 5.6mm at the highest point...10mm probably wouldn't fit in the buckle well.

is that tongue longer than you remember your RD's tongue to be? I recall someone saying the V3's have a longer tongue than the RD's. Unfortunately I'm in the majority of people who've never owned the RD's..... (i do feel sorry for the pair that got sacrificed in these pictures, lol)
DragonGalvy for sure this tongue is longer due to the fact that they disconnected it from the sides of the shoe.

Good news on those discounted V3's. They have some left. I'm ordering a pair. Just wanted to make sure, is this the same account you paid to:
