Thank you Tom,
I haven't realized you replied to my question. Never received an email even if I was subscribed.
I have a couple questions and an updated list below. I am starting to understand much much better.
1) The removable battery, how is it charged when you remove from saber?
You charge it on an external charger. You have to buy one separately, most stores have them. 18650 charger.
2) Can i use my hasbro blade? or do i have to purchase a new one? whiuch you recommend? its 1.0" I assume.
Better to not reuse the Hasbro blade. Its like 3/4". The conversion kit is 1" ID. 1" blade is what you need.
3) Is the Prism or the Nano V4 the best board? I want to go all out. most features and best sounding.
Prism, is what I'd go for, but then you need 2 buttons to use all the features.
4) what is a carclo? i cant find in the store.
Carclo is the normal tri cree lens sold at TCSS carclo lens link
5) Is the speaker i chose correct? 2W 28mm Bass Speaker (I saw the work VECO in one of your lists and dont know what VECO is)
Yes, Veco bass speaker is the 2W 28mm speaker. That is the right one.
6) I want to make it look like as authentic as possible. Thinking of doing your install putting a micro switch under the card with beer can wedges. How ingeniuous! Which switch you use? and do you have a clearer photo of the install?
I can send you some of those switches, I have hundreds of them. You have to dremel out a hole for them to sit in in the plastic clamp piece. Very carefully and slowly. PM me your address, and I'll send you 4 of them.
7) As an alternate, later i may go the activation box 1 method, but am trying to understand if it fits perfect into the existing holes or i have to drill (which i prefer not to do.). any advice?
You would have to modify to use TCSS' activation box.
8.) Oh also noticed there is a NANO V4 pre-wired. Will it fit inside the style 6 chassis with the Power Extender (which is currently out of stock).
They sell that Nano prewired in a chassis I believe.
So excited and your videos are fantastic! Almost ready for my purchase!
I am a wire harness engineer for 20 years working and love working on projects, so excited for this one.
