Yeah that would be pretty cool.
Incidentally, do we still have to wait for 10 people to sign up for that battery pack because I have a feeling that I'll be waiting until hoverboards actually exist :lol

No, I am going to do the run either way and I will do the Battery with hold-down extensions after the people who first were interested are fulfilled.

No, you can first remove the magnet pads and then unscrew around the case to take the halves apart.

Allow me to second the request for a battery pack with extensions, for those who want to keep the original magnets.

I been asking for this since post 33...lol.
Also, some people wanted pics of the stickers on my board. You can clearly see the misalignment and the wrinkled spot.

I'd be very bery ahppy with the battery pack with the extension pieces as opposed to just the battery pack since there are only 2 of us who signed up. Looks like you have almost 10 already for the battery pack with extensions :$
if its like mattys it should just pop off once the board is open

Well I'm gonna have a sh*tload of lenticular paper left over! hahaha I WAY overbought! But better to be safe than sorry! I'll let you know how much I have. It's gonna be a pain in the arse to measure and cut everything out just right, but whatever I have left I'd be happy to share with people on here!

The edges are round. :'( How do you make it a straight bevel?
??? What do you mean? Did you not understand the boards would have the same round top as the Matty board seen in every photo?

Yeah I understood.

To make it more accurate? The ones in the movies were mostly bevelled.
I don't know if a router works on plastic or not, or if it can shave already rounded edges.

I would stay the hell away from a router this isn't made of foam you can't just shave it down you'll destroy the board. some boards had rounded tops, the boards will look nice once modded. This board does not have enough material to create a bevelled edge you'll either crack the board or shave right through it.

Interesting learning experience, this has been most educational.

You can't really mod these boards to that level. This board should be the same two piece construction as the Matty boards which are injection molded plastic. It would be easier (and cheaper) to just make a board from foam if you wanted beveled edges than it would be to mod one of these. The router would certainly cut the plastic, but you would essentialy cut the top of the board off in the process.
If you look at good screen caps of the Hero boards, they look like they were beveled with a knife.
