    Default No more planning and this is it!

    Ok so Iam getting tired of planning this and that and well Iam just gonna do it and if I don't like Iam gonna sell the thing off.

    I just need to get a couple parts and one is custom and another is tough to get fast or easy to get and takes forever to arrive so where to get it from is a tough choice.

    Now the saber will use either a luxIII bin 2 cyan that Ive had for ages or I will use my orange led that I got from BR, or just pony up the cash and get a luxV. Now some say luxV arnt worth it with the rebel out and all and well to be frank I don't want to send it to someone to install the tiny goober or waste the time to do it myself cause I don't want to deal with something that fricken tiny. Saber will house a CF v2.5, Battery pack will be decided when I decide what led to use.

    Design is based on a little bit of this and that with something of old and something new, borrowed and broken.
    Now the parks clamp either I get it from parks and wait a year for it or try to source one. But putting the switches in that will be a pain so Iam gonna use 2 small momentary buttons like this in a card on the clamp.

    I know unoriginal, but Iam also probably gonna put a couple accent leds with the short bezel in the card as well.
    So if I get bored with it Iam gonna sell it off but I need to get this thing finish already.

    Iam talking to Tim right now about a custom extension. Its basically a ribbed section cut down to 2.5" long and the ribs lathed off.

    But to the end point Iam not sure if I want to use the luxIII cyan or the orange on this saber or not, I think maybe a luxV is in order but if I go that route I need a battery pack thats no longer than 4" and will provide more than 800mah. I need a battery pack that will give me 2.5 hours of run time at a minimum.

    So should I stick with my 4.8V 2600mah pack and get a k2 or should I get a luxV and have to worry about getting a battery pack that has the needs I.....need. I would get the 7.2 nihm pack but thats just to big and Iam not sure if Iam gonna have that much room to spare.

    Iam sure it looks like I got enough room to use just about anything but I don't want this to be cramped and a simple swing will take the wiring apart.

    Now to find the right size timing belt.

    Ok enought rambling for now
