View Full Version : A few noob questions for my first saber.

I know how to hook up the wires and everything, but what I'm supposed to buy confuses me.

So far for my stunt saber I have:

Rebel Star LED, white.
I have activation box 9.
MWS Short momentary 16mm AV Switch
MWS Momentary to Latching Converter 2.2 to 16v
Li-Ion 18650 3.7V 2600mAh PCB Protected Rechargeable Battery Module
MWS Recharge Port

Is there anything that I need or something that I should swap out? Anything wrong?
I'm very new to this hobby and most likely this'll be my only saber so I really don't want to mess this up.

You'll need a resistor for your LED. And probably some sort of saber body to put all the parts in, and maybe some chassis parts to hold them in place.

If you understand basic electrics, a stunt saber is wired just like a flashlight.

I have the hilt already. Where are the resistors at? And which chassis parts? I understand the discs but I don't know where to go from there.

If I remember correctly (and I probably don't), the ones I made went battery pack-resistor-on/off switch/Lens glued to LED, both mounted to heatsink

Resistors, like all of the other parts are in the store.

On The Custom Saber Shop's youtube channel there's a chassis building video, which explains how to use the discs.
