Since then, at least six different motherboard versions and numerous screen configurations have been introduced. Early versions of the motherboard used long bolts, spacers, and screens that had to be screwed down. However, the latest revision, the \u003cstrong\u003eMaster 4 Motherboard\u003c\/strong\u003e, eliminates these cumbersome mounting requirements, offering a more streamlined and efficient design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs of January 2025, there are now only \u003cstrong\u003ethree versions\u003c\/strong\u003e of the Begode Master motherboard:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLegacy Bolt Pattern (Two Styles)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSame component layout\u003c\/strong\u003e as the earlier versions but comes in two styles:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard Version 2:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed for newer Masters but does not fit the earliest models without modification.

However, due to the cooling fins on the bottom, it is easy to jam and snap your tap, so ordering the correct version is strongly recommended. At the end of the day, the board just needs to be secured properly so the gyro can function and heat can transfer to the aluminum chassis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaster 4 Motherboard (2024-Present)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned exclusively for the \u003cstrong\u003eMaster 4 electric unicycle\u003c\/strong\u003e (produced in 2024 and continuing into 2025).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaller when viewed from front to back\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEliminates the need for long bolts and spacers to hold the screen.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures \u003cstrong\u003ecircuit board header connectors\u003c\/strong\u003e that allow the screen to attach \u003cstrong\u003ewithout screws\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility and Installation Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you are looking to replace or upgrade your motherboard, be sure to identify which \u003cstrong\u003ebolt pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e your current model has.
