Will you use the existing driver pcb to mount your driver ?

If it fits, yes. I did an angled mount of a trimmed 15 mm driver before, in a SolarStorm AA size light (SC01 or SC03??), and it worked out well, and that was with a thicker stock size OSHPark board.

Realized I never posted the final mod of this light, but I finished it in the end of October. Here's some pics:

 Pretty great little pocket light now, nice glow from the button, easy to find on the nightstand - I used a warm white switch LED. Smooth ramping w/NarsilTriple w/ramping optimized for the 3 7135's in the 2nd channel. It seems to perform the best with IMREN 16340 here, with a solder blob on top, but does well with the EFEST also.

i´m interested in one.

Any chance for a groupbuy?

+1 M3 Pro

I don’t see the advantage of the m3 pro over the type c U16 unless you obsess over weight or need to save space in your pocket.

I am thankful I got an m1 w/ 5c, looks like they are discontinued now.

Hey, sign me up Freeme. The new M3 pro looks great!

I stopped carrying the original M3 due to no charging built in. I’ve been carrying the Jaxmnve clone for the last 6 months since it’s the same size and does have built in charging. It’s “okay”, but no where near as good as the M3.

I’m interested M3 pro

I see On The Road has released many new lights.

It looks like their Aliexpress store has the M3 Pro CW full pack (includes battery, add note in checkout for them to include the clip) for $20.54 plus shipping of $4.35. That’s $24.89 total.

The single pack (no battery) is only $1 cheaper. Sale ends in 2 days.

I don’t want to post a link to the On The Road Official Store, but it’s easy to find. Just search for “on the road M3” on Aliexpress and you will find their store.

Interested in Full Pack, neutral white

Freeme, are you still monitoring this thread?

Just checking.

I will send out today.

Hey folks, first post here. I’ve just purchased this torch/flashlight from Banggood and foolishly didn’t realise that I’d bought the package with no cell. Can anyone recommend what cell I should opt for and ideally where to purchase (UK). I can’t find a single review on the M3 pro? The specs suggest: 16340,CR123,Li-ion,RCR123 but new to flashlights so doesn’t really help me out so much. Would appreciate any help! Thanks

EDIT: just read a thread on Reddit stating it’s a sealed cell but I can’t see that being the case?

Thanks Jason, I didn’t realise it was so new, makes complete sense now. I was originally going to go for the olight S1R but then spotted this. Can’t wait to see a review.

I guess I’ll have to wait for a review then, unless anyone knows some inside info on if a protected 16340 would fit. I’m new to flashlights so protected would perhaps suit me better

Freeme,
Add me to your list for the M3 Pro Neutral white.

Interested, M3 Pro Neutral white

Hi Freeme, did you already start to send codes or are you still waiting for feedback from the Gearbest rep. for a better price for us? Thank you.

Interested, M3 Pro NW

In for the M3 Pro Neutral white

Order placed one M3 Pro NW Full pack,
Thanks Freeme

For anyone who doesn’t know, the “Full Pack” includes the battery and it’s well worth it as they use a good quality cell, an Orbtronics 1607 unprotected 700mah 16340.

I tried a protected 16340 in my old M3 and it was too long.

Ordered 1 M3 Pro Neutral white single pack

Thanks
