contacted madcow a couple months back about getting one last saber in before he becomes a father.
i wanted a simple prequel style hilt that looked like it had seen some use.
HUGE thanks to rob for taking on this project in such a time crunch.
im blown away at the quality of madcows work.
his attention to detail is amazing. every aspect of the saber is is beyond what was asked.
the bin 6 cyan is great. a very "calm" green
it is truly awesome. not too big, very nimble and great for spins. the battery weight offsets the blade for a very balanced feel.
my favorite part has to be the activation and aux buttons. perfect placement and craftsmanship.
they are attached to tactile switches not mounted to a slider like on earlier genesis sabers.
specs:
MHS parts modified and weathered by madcow
cf 4.1
luxeon K2 cyan bin 6
in hilt recharge
2700 mAh 4.8 volt NIMH battery
activation and aux placed higher on the hilt in madcow style
backlit aux button
mini bar graph (green) w/ red low battery led
