First saber, hilt only [HELP!!]

[Darth Revan]

I understand. But i need something else to make it change the "hum" sound to the swinging one, or the sound card does it automatically?

items 12 and 10 are the kill key and the charger. But do i need to "buy" another hole for the activation box (first link you posted) ?

You can eliminate the AV switch hole and get the Box 9 hole service instead (which includes the 2 holes and the drilling and tapping for the screw.) You will also need to get the screw to attach the box to the hilt.

The sound card will change sounds automatically depending on what you do. I strongly suggest you download and read the manual that domes wight he sound card. It is in the store. You may also want to get sone extra wire and some extra JST connectors http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/JS...tors-P360.aspx to help make the wiring a little easier for you.

I already read parts of the manual. If i don't get the Box 9 hole servico nor the box 9 where could i put the recharge port and how?

You would need to figure out the "where" and have Tim drill and tap a hole for it, wherever you decide to put it. A picture of your hilt would be good to help determine a good spot for it. As this is your first hilt, I would recommend you make your install as easy as possible for yourself.

I think i will just leave the recharge port inside the saber and when i need to recharge i just remove the pommel. This way I think the saber is more clean and beautifull.

I changed my mind. Maybe the rechargeable batteries would be a better option. This way i don't need all those parts for the Li-Ion and i save like $30. And when I need i can just replace batteries (no need to recharge). Is the 2xAA with sound compatible with this sound card?

2 alkaline AAs will only be 3.0V which will run your sound card, but will slightly under power your blue LED.

Yeah, i just saw on the manual that it says 4XAA batteries. But i think 4xAAA would do to since they have almost the same voltage, am i right?

EDIT: Would i still need the diode to reduce voltage? ( i believe the diode is for the -0.7V, right?)

The 4 AA refers to NiMH rechargeable batteries, which would be 4.8V as opposed to the 6 Volts regular alkalines would be. IF you use the 2 AA battery holder, you can use one 14500 Li-ion Battery and a dummy cell and the recharge them externally with something like this: http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Tr...rger-P346.aspx

Yeah, but i think i prefer just the 4xAAA regular batteries (rechargeable). Wouldn't that do? What about a resistor for that?
