No longer stocking the Sombrero
The Donkey Car store had been ordering sombrero boards and selling them sometimes break even sometimes at a loss for about 1.5 years now, The design is still open source, and still supported. I am looking at other options to simplify the electronics and battery in the donkey car. For those who want to know, the reason not stocking the cars were this:
the hope is that some 3rd party would pick up the design and improve it, but that never happened
It was too complex to assemble a Sombrero - often they would have issues after assembly.
I had to buy large quantities and I did not like outlaying thousands of dollars.
