At first I had a 4 AA 2600mAh NiMH Rechargeable battery pack but after adding the new items I had to drop down to a 4 AAA NiMH Rechargeable battery pack. Now that I think about it the specifications for this saber are all messed up now. I then add in a PVC chassis with a space reserved for the mother. I cut out a small piece of plastic tube and mounted the motor in that. I then used some hot glue to mount the tube to the inside of the PVC chassis.
I got the motor from all electronics.
I should have done an A to Z build thread on this but unfortunately I don’t think of taking pics until it is all done. Next time I will.
As for my son he is only 3 or I think he would be after me making one for him. That just might be my next project , a padawan saber with a blue blade that is favorite color.
