A budget Graflex Build

[OLDY]

I am new to this hobby.
I will start gathering parts for my budget Graflex build.
I will not use any 3D printed chassis, no crystal, no in-hilt recharge port.
Since I live outside the US, it is difficult for me to obtain some of the parts.
My primary source of material will be TCSS.
Your input will be greatly appreciated!

My bottom chassis will be MHS speaker mount V6.
I'll use TCSS 1" blade holder and use the switch that is included in 2.0 kit under the red button.

Please comment if I'm missing something. Thank you.

Seems fine to me but i don't think the speaker mount V6 will fit into the graflex... But if you know it fits.. I didn't say anything

Unless you have a local source for resistors you will want to buy those at the same time as everything else. If your switch is illuminated you will need one for that and you will need at least one for the white led in the star. Not sure if you will need one for the blues if wired in series, something you will need to check out in advance.

Thank you. That was actually one of my biggest concerns.
I've read somewhere that the lower part of Graflex 2.0 is 1.25" in diameter.
So I figured V6 will fit in it.
I'll report back when I have the parts but my 2.0 from Parks is still long while ahead.

Thank you very much. I saw a bunch of YouTube videos that talk about resistors and LED.
I figured I'll need 2 of 1ohm 2w resistors for the blue LEDs.
I'll make sure I'll get them from TCSS.
I'm not going to have to bother with the white because it only flashes on FoC.
Am I correct?

Those numbers sound fine. I would probably still get a 3rd resistor for the white FoC die. The sound board can start acting odd when the battery is running low, and it's a lot worse if you're running without resistors.

Thank you! I might use 3 resistors.
Or, could I join 3 positive wires into 1 and then add a resistor to it?

Resistors are small and inexpensive, no reason not to use three. You could combine the two blue LEDs onto one resistor, but I'd keep the white separate.

Okay, thanks for your input.
I re-did my schematics as you suggested.

I see no issues with your diagram.
