Hey guys! I'm building my first saber, and I have a few questions based on the features I know I want. Here's the features:


  • Blade Builder sound board
  • Rechargeable battery preferably with a recharge port
  • Orange blade
  • Combat ready
  • Rugged chassis construction


I already have the saber itself. The parts list is as follows:

And my questions are this:


  1. Will the MHS chassis parts fit into the ribbed extension piece?
  2. Is it possible to have a rechargeable battery with a Blade Builder board or is any port-compatible battery too powerful?
  3. Is it really necessary to use a transistor with the Blade Builder board? I've seen some designs that have one and some that don't.
  4. A latching switch is just a momentary switch that "latches" right? If I click it on and then back off again will that work the same as a momentary switch?


Thanks for reading this over. Any and all help is much appreciated.
