Do I need 2 18650 batteries for the CF 7.5?
They can be 18650's or they could be the 14500 or 14650 packs. as long as they are 7.4V packs that is the important part. (unless you want to try the 3.7V hack)
- Is there enough room below the switch and recharge port for the 5.25 2 battery pack?
Probably not. Which is why personally I would just go with side-by-side 14*** 7.4V pack if I were going to be making a CF build, because the 18650 7.4V packs are just so loong! - If I use 2 seperate 18650 batteries, do I have to wire in a protection circuit?
If you are saying if you put one 18650 in one place (say under the CF) and the other wired to it, but in somewhere else (like the handle), that could work, but yes, you would need the right protection circuit for your homemade pack. - Is the inside diameter of the Tonfa handle the same as the MHS V1 items (Can I put 1 battery in the shaft and one in the grip)?
That I do not know, sorry. Might be a question to email Tim about.
What is missing?
Chassis components: Batteries, Cree-Tri-XP-E2, TRSL Lens, Recharge port, 2 Switches, RICE Port (Internal), MHS V3 Heat Sink, premium speaker
, CF (obviously), resistors for your switch LEDs if applicable
Chassis Structure: 2x 4-40 thread, matching nuts, 2 chassis discs per battery (or pack), assorted spacers, speaker mount v5 (2 batteries?), tons of wiring stuff.
That all depends on what you plan to do for the battery question
Also if someone could recommend a short blade. I'm leaning towards Amber in color.
You can get blade material cut to almost any length needed in the store and then add the diffuser tube or wraps yourself.
