Hola! I am planning to start my first build soon and need some feedback on my parts list. I don't plan on adding sound, just a basic stunt saber.

Body:
Hilt style 4

Machine Standard style switch hole
MPS Clip
MPS Insert Style 4
MPS Pommel Style 7
MHSV1 Blade Holder Style 17
.75" Male / Female extension
Double ended male threaded connector style 1

Electronics:
Rebel Star LED & MHSV1 Heatsink Module

Heat Sink V4 (Flat Style)

Luxeon Rebel Star (Royal Blue)
Push on/push off switch with red button
Red rubber switch boot
BuckPuck 1000mA 4-wire
1/8" Adhesive lined heatshrink tubing

Blade:
Trans White Battle blade 1" OD (32 inches) OR "TCSS style" Battle blade 1" OD (32 inches)
8-32 x .3" black thumb screw


I am not sure which battery pack to include. I would like to use one of the AA or AAA holders, would either http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/4AAA-Battery-Holder-with-JST-connector-P724.aspx or http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/4AA-Battery-Holder-with-JST-connector-P723.aspx work?
These were my first choices, but I am not opposed to a Li-ion pack if that is more highly recommended.
Also, if I added a ribbed section (http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/MHS-ribbed-extension-P245.aspx?ItemId=323704) in place of the extension/connector will either of the battery holders not fit?

I know some parts are currently out of stock, but I have no problem waiting.
Any feedback would be great. Thanks.

You'll need al least 5 volts to power the BuckPuck. I don't know if a 4 AA or 4 AAA battery holder will fit in the ribbed extension, but TCSS makes acrylic disks to hold a li-ion battery that will fit.

AA or AAA holders that hold 4 cells will not fit in the ribbed extension...the I.D. of those parts is 1.15". A single 3.7v Li-Ion battery will fit, but will not be enough to power the buckpuck, which Generic pointed out, requires a minimum of 5volts. you would need to use one of the 7.4 volts 14500 packs to work with the buck puck, which would fit inside the ribbed extension.
