    Default First Saber ever....help?

    Hello! Well I'm building my first saber soon, but I wanted to check to see if I had all the parts I needed, thanks!

    You would need at least 5 Volts to power a BuckPuck. 2AA's wouldn't be enough, unless you are going to use 2 14500 Li-Ions.

    So what would you suggest to replace the 2 AA?

    Well, since it looks like you'll have the room, try the 2 x 18650 pack. You'll just need to figure out how to secure it within your hilt.

    Something like this:

    http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/74...Pack-P699.aspx

    It doesn't fit into any type of batter holder, that's why I said you'll have to come up with some way of securing it.

    Ummm, NO! You should check with Tim to see if these would fit inside those sink tubes:

    Can make my own chassis, so m not worried bout that. My only problem is actually wiring it cause I have no idea what order to put the MWS style parts in.

    I might still by those chassis pieces tho...I'm lazy...
