    Im sure it will be added to...sooooo....

    You dont need the resistor....the board puts out exactly what you will need for the LuxV. That is only used if you direct drive the LED.

    If you know how to drill and tap you will be fine....if not you need to place a "custom" order to get a hole drilled and tapped where u want it.....the Covertech needs to be put on with a hex-head screw....also a hole drilled and tapped for either a set screw or thumb screw for blade retention....which brings me to the next....

    You need at least one hex head screw for the covertech, and a set screw or thumb screw for blade retention.

    Also the setup for the Ultraboard is out of stock....you can get the battery holder, the speaker and the board, but not the speaker holder as of yet.

    Will you be running the saber with a big hole in the pomel....if not you need a MPS insert with some form of retainer.....

    Also you need some way of turning it on and off....since you picked the main hilt section with the "guarded" hole i would recomend a guarded switch....also if you are using an Ultraboard it will need to be a momentary switch.

    As for cost....put it in the basket....you arent commited to buying it by putting it into the basket....you can even get a quote on shipping without buying anything.....

    As I said earlier....anyone can add on to what I have posted.....

    Very thx!!!

    You explain all with nice words... It's not easy for me... I'm italian hehehe... The english with eletronic language is too hard for me, but here all ok... The only thing is:

    - We have a Policarbonite blade like Ultraedge or i buy it to Ultra?

    - If i put the momentary switch for US 2.5 can i use the guarded body or i need to use the normal?

    I have update my wishlist... I hope this is all correct!!!

    Why are you ordering a power jack kill plug when you don't have a power jack on your list?

    If you want to build the blade yourself, here are the parts...

    It's cheaper if you assemble the blade yourself. If you decide to assemble the blade yourself, you will need a strong adhesive to glue on the tip. I recommend "IPS Weld-On 16" cement.


    If you want to buy the blade already assembled, here are complete blades...

    I hope that helps.

    The only thing I can see missing now is a pommel insert clip:

    Also, it's a pretty long hilt, just shy of 16".

    Being so great, the owner of these wonderful forums and attached shop has filmed how to build an MHS hilt, here's the link:

    Is he just great to you all?

    The clips are a pain in the butt to install if you dont have c-clip pliers, you could use an oring and wedge it in the groove.
